Re: mail prob

I'm still a newbie tho so bare with me. > Okay, it sounds like you're forgetting the "From: " prefix in front of $from. This prefix is necessary because the mail message you are composing must come out looking essentially like this (this is what gets given to your SMTP mail server): To: webmaster@domain.com From: me@myserver.com Cc: info@domain.com Subject: Blah Here is the main body of the message. Now, PHP's mail() function will automatically insert the To: and Subject: headers, and the body, from the first three arguments to mail(). But to add the custom From: and Cc: headers, you have to add them yourself (correctly formatted as mail headers) using the fourth argument to mail(). Which is how we get to: mail("webmaster@domain.com", $subject, $message, "From: $from\nCc: info@domain.com"); Making sense? :) > > > > From: "W.D." <suedeuno@yahoo.com> > > > > > <form method="POST" action="<?php print > > > ($PHP_SELF);?>"> > > > First Name: <input type=TEXT name="FirstName" size=15><p> > > > Last Name: <input type=TEXT name="LastName" size=25><p> > > > E-mail Address: <input type=TEXT name="Email" size=25><p> > > > <textarea name="Info" rows="5" cols="40" > > > wrap=SOFT>Ask a > > > Question</textarea><p> > > > <input type=SUBMIT> <input type=RESET> > > > </font> > > > </form> > > > > > > > > > <?php > > > $from = $FirstName ."
