PHP Email

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 13.2007

Hi

I’ve set up a contact us form where a user can add their Email address, a subject and a message and used PHPs built in Email capbilities in the below function:

<?php
$to = “[email protected]“;
$subject = $_REQUEST[“subject”];
$body = $_REQUEST[“message”];
mail($to, $subject, $body)
?>

Problem is when it arrives at the Email address the Email is from [email][email protected][/email] rather than my domain name. Can somebody tell me why this is, and better yet tell me how to fix it so that mail arrives with an address like [email][email protected][/email]

Many thanks in advance

Ross

@kcis8rmauthorMar 13.2007 — Thanks, I do validate it before running this section of code, I just cut it out to keep the post to a miniumum! All the values being added to the mail section are what I'd expect. The mail arrives at the destination as expected, it is literally just the address that isn't coming through as expected?!

Could it be something to do with the way the server is set up, or am I missing some headers that would make a difference?

@bokehMar 13.2007 — Try looking in the manual; as with most of the others, it deals with this function in great detail.[code=php]mail($to, $subject, $body, 'From: [email protected]')[/code]
