RE: [PHP] Mail From option in PHP.ini

I tried the extra header. The problem is with the return receipts. The mail is being generated by a server other than my main e-mail server, so if I want a delivery/read receipt I have to specify a "From" e-mail address or else it will default to the user executing the script, i.e. uucp@my.server.com ini_set() does not appear to work with sendmail_path. sendmail_path is in the PHP_INI_SYSTEM group so it can only be set in the php.ini or httpd.conf...Thanks for the suggestion though... -----Original Message----- From: CPT John W.

Why not just put it in the extra headers? $headers .= "From: $email_address_from_your_database\r\n"; Or you could possibly use ini_set() to change the php.ini setting. ---John Holmes...
