PHP Form Generation from a newbie!

[ditch_b]

Hi Folks, hopefully someone will be able to help me with what is more than likely a very basic fix!!

I have copied below the contect of processor.php as used for a reservation form on my website. At the moment the email comes through with the FROM field being the server name it came from i.e. [e-mail]. I would like it to come through from a manually set entry i.e. ENQUIRY. I am aware that this will not be replyable too and this is how I wish it to be so that replies cannot be accidently sent to the apache server! I have found quite a few items on forums as to how to configure this but none of them seem to work within the script I have. Any advice would be much appreciated.

<?php

$where_form_is="http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].strrev(strstr(strrev($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']),"/"));

session_start();
if( ($_SESSION['security_code']==$_POST['security_code']) && (!empty($_POST['security_code'])) ) { 

// Checkbox handling
$field_19_opts = $_POST['field_19'][0].",". $_POST['field_19'][1];

// Checkbox handling
$field_20_opts = $_POST['field_20'][0].",". $_POST['field_20'][1];

// Checkbox handling
$field_21_opts = $_POST['field_21'][0].",". $_POST['field_21'][1];

mail("[e-mail]","RESERVATION for " . $_POST['field_15'] . " for " . $_POST['field_16'] . " ","Reservation Information:

After the content of the body of the message, add this:

"FROM: [e-mail]"

So your code becomes:

<?php

$where_form_is="http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].strrev(strstr(strrev($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']),"/"));

session_start();
if( ($_SESSION['security_code']==$_POST['security_code']) && (!empty($_POST['security_code'])) ) {

// Checkbox handling
$field_19_opts = $_POST['field_19'][0].",". $_POST['field_19'][1];

// Checkbox handling
$field_20_opts = $_POST['field_20'][0].",". $_POST['field_20'][1];

// Checkbox handling
$field_21_opts = $_POST['field_21'][0].",". $_POST['field_21'][1];

mail("[e-mail]","RESERVATION for " . $_POST['field_15'] . " for " . $_POST['field_16'] . " ","Reservation Information:

***********************************
" . $_POST['field_1'] . "
" . $_POST['field_2'] . "

The [man]mail/man function allows you to set your own headers. So you can set the DATE or REPLY-TO or any other typical header. Have a quick look at the documentation for some more information.

Hi BPat thanks for your reply,

To start with it didnt appear to work but I had to make 1 very small change.

", "FROM: [e-mail]");
needed to be
","FROM: [e-mail]");

i.e. no space ater the first ",

Many Thanks for your help, it now works!

Thanks again

that space shouldn't matter... but okay. Glad you got it working. Don't forget to mark this thread as resolved.
