Re: RE: [PHP-DB] mail()

The last parameter of the mail command is for email headers, if you pass in just a single email address it doesn't know what you want to do with that since thats not a valid header. If you don't know what your doing with the last parameter then you don't need to have it, and should omit it, as it is opitional for a reason. If your sure you do need it, you seperate headers like this: To set the reply-to field and the from field (as it would appear to the person who recieves the email), you would do: "From:steve@bob.com\nReply-to:bob@bob.com" This would make the email appear as coming from steve@bob.com, while when they clicked the reply button, it would go to bob@bob.com, the most useful situation for these is when your server appends a nastry from address like apache@localhost or whatever from the webserver daemon.
