Re: php from address

Hi everyone, In November I sent a mail to this list asking how to get the mail From header right, I solved that but I still have a problem. The solution was using the -f option like this: $frommail = "user@domain.com"; mail("$to", "$subject", "$message", "$headers","-f$frommail"); The from address is correct now but the displayed name is still www-data (or apache, depends on the server configuration). The header looks like this: From: user@domain.com (www-data) Is there anyway to change this? Thanks, regards Chantal

$frommail = "user@domain.com"; mail("$to", "$subject", "$message", "$headers","-f$frommail"); is an extremely ugly way to pass variables IMO. $frommail = "user@domain.com"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, "-f".$frommail); is a lot nicer IMO. Anyway, to get back to you. The "name" you want would be supplied by having the header From: user@domain.com in the following format: From: MyName Goes Here <user@domain.com>
