Mail-From

Hi there I wonder how i can get the from line to be something else than nobody when i get mails from this script

mail("$recipient", "$sender",
"
This E-mail is sent to you ......\n
From:\n$name - $sender\n

Meddelande:\n$message\n

Reply To: $sender\n
");

Hi there! Try this;

$to_email = "info@bestpricehost.com";
$subject = "Subject...";
$message = "message...";
$from_name = "T. A. Barry";
$from_email = "tabarry@bestpricehost.com";

($to_email,$subject,$message,"From : $from_name <$from_email>\n");

Hope this is what you wanted.

Regards

Hello
Thanks for your help but i still get a "Nobody" in the FROM-field in outlook when i receive the mails.

Can't i sort of put some name there?

appreciate any help

see sending a text mail is very simple using the mail() function in PHP.

By the way you can add information other than subject,body,from,

like
content typ
Mailer Verison etc...

A Simple will be as follows

$address="php@php.com";
$subject="check this!";
$body="bla ..bla...";
$from="s.r.k@onebox.com";

mail($address,$subject,$body,$from);

$smile="🙂";

echo("I have sent my mail successfully".$smile);

//If this doesnt work let me know ...

May be it is your server that has such settings. Try on another server please if possible.
