I tried using the name and e-mail address for the $to, as shown in example 4, but it did not work. So, I had to double quote the name and escape those doubles quotes, i.e.: $to = "\"Fullname\"<theuser@thehost.com>"; This also worked for the $from variable, which is then part of the $header variable, i.e.: $from = "\"The From name\" <thefromuser@thefromhost.com>"; $header = "From: $from\n"; Hope it helps. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+21446 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+21446 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+21446
