The fourth argument in mail() is termed : additional_headers As you now know, 'From' is such a header. As are 'Reply-to' 'cc' and 'bcc' ... "From: me@example.com\ncc: cc@example.com\nbcc: secret@example.com" More examples in manual and rfc : http://www.php.net/manual/function.mail.php http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2076.html > > I've spoken to the hosting company, they say they will not provide any > > assistance to PHP script related problems.

I mostly agree with the web host, they can't be *expected* to answer php syntax questions, that's why php-general exists :-) > 2) Tell them to use a PHP that was built *after* the fall of the Roman > Empire. 3.0.16 is old. It's not even the last PHP3 build. (And if they > say its hard, well gee, we have PHP4.0.5 running on Solaris). Yeah, you'll find many more functions and "stuff" available within the newer releases of PHP4, may as well make a request and discuss it with them. And see their reasonings. Then tell them yours :-) Regards, Philip
