I want both, not one or the other! mail()

[lolbox]

I am a bit out of touch of PHP anymore, but here's my problem. I have the following:

$sendTo = strip_tags($POST["to"]);
$subject = strip_tags($POST["subject"]);
$name = strip_tags($POST["name"]);
$number = strip_tags($POST["number"]);
$email = strip_tags($POST["email"]);
$content = strip_tags($POST["content"]);
$headers = "From: $email" . "\r\n" . "Reply-To: $reply";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";

When I send using this, I get an HTML email, but it does not show the From: $email in the recipient's box, it shows the [e-mail]

Alternatively, I've put the $headers = "From: $email" . "\r\n" . "Reply-To: $reply"; after the $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n"; and it did the opposite (showed the ]From: $email properly, but would not show HTML properly.

What is my solution? 🙁

Welcome to PHPBuilder.com! Please use the board's [noparse]

[/noparse] tags when posting PHP code as they make your code much easier to read an analyze.

As for your problem, You aren't concatenating on the second header line here:

$headers = "From: $email" . "\r\n" . "Reply-To: $reply";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n"; 
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n"; 

There for the MIME header is overwriting the from and reply to header, and then you are adding the last one, the solution would be to add a period before the assignment operator on the line trying to add the MIME-Version.

Thank you. That was exactly what was wrong.. can't believe i missed that! FYI: for onlookers, the fix was:

$sendTo = strip_tags($_POST["to"]);
$subject = strip_tags($_POST["subject"]);
$name = strip_tags($_POST["name"]);
$number = strip_tags($_POST["number"]);
$email = strip_tags($_POST["email"]);
$content = strip_tags($_POST["content"]);
$headers = "From: $email" . "\r\n" . "Reply-To: $reply";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";
