RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail

No parse error, but still "nobody". Here is my new code. How do you tell the difference between the need for '' and ""? Working "kind of" code <? $email = $_REQUEST['email']; $fromaddress = 'admin@zoneofsuccessclub.com'; $fromname = 'Zone of success Club'; $eol = "\r\n"; $smtp = "localhost"; $headers = 'From: '.$fromname.' <'.$fromaddress.'>'.$eol; $headers = 'bcc: kathyandrews@bellsouth.net'; $headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$fromname.' <'.$fromaddress.'>'.$eol; $headers .= 'Return-Path: '.$fromname.' <'.$fromaddress.'>'.$eol; $headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP '.phpversion().$eol; $headers .= 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'.$eol; $headers .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit'; $subject = 'Your free book!'; $body = '<a href="http://www.zoneofsuccessclub.com/freePDF/autopilotebook.pdf">"Click ME"</a> Here is your FREE autopilot book!!!!'; mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers); ?> -----Original Message----- From: Brad [mailto:brads@ftnco.com] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 1:26 PM To: 'Jim Lucas' Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail $headers = 'bcc: kathyandrews@bellsouth.net'; Works but corrupts the "from" portion and changes it to "nobody" Which I think goes back too the smtp portion. Let me try that!
