Email syntax

[keylope]

I'm currently trying to send an email via php. The email is done through a form on my website and I'm trying to get the from address to display when it is sent to me.

I was wondering if anyone knew the syntax?

I'm currently using: "$from_name" <$from_address>

But it keeps showing up as my gzo email addres... anyone run into this type of thing before?

Thanks.

Try using just $from_address, and manually add a From: header as "$from_name" <$from_address> in the extra headers parameter.

okay...

I got it working.. the correct syntax was $from_name <$from_address>. But I forgot that to append, you have to use .=, NOT +=.

See what happens when you get frustrated!!! You start missing all the silly little dots.

Thanks for your suggestion mkraai!
