Re: Getting the "From: admin@site.com" to work

You need to build your header and include that in your mail() call: $lc_headers = "From: $lc_from_name <$lc_from_email>\n"; $lc_headers .= "X-Sender: <$lc_sender>\n"; $lc_headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; // mailer $lc_headers .= "Return-Path: <$lc_return>\n"; // Return path for errors $lc_headers .= "Mime-Version: 1.0\n"; mail($lc_recipient, $lc_subject, $lc_message, $lc_headers); ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andre Dubuc" <aajdubuc@webhart.net> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, October 26, 2002 1:40 PM Subject: [PHP] Getting the "From: admin@site.com" to work > Perhaps some kind guru can spare me some time.
