How can i make the $from to be placed in the header? hi Jennifer, you have to specify the From email address in the following way: $from = "From: eper@tridel.net"; the last parameter passed to PHP is not by default the from address, but any additional paremeters, so you've gotta tell PHP it's the from address (in the way above). Look here for more info: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php the "nobody" user will be the webserver, and since your original script did not specify a sender then this is what the server usually defaults to. best wishes, Simon ------------------------------------------- Studio 24 Ltd | tel. 01223 501 892 PO Box 88 | fax. 0870 063 1216 Cambridge | mob. 07974 074 547 CB4 1XH | www.studio24.net
