Simple Problem Driving Me Nuts!

mail function

[Tiebreaker]

Hi

Pretty new to php - I have a form on my site that sends mail to users from me with the following ...

mail($usersemail, $subject, $message, "From: $myemail\r\n"."Reply-To: $myemail");

This works fine - but the message, when it arrives in the persons inbox, will just show my email address in the "From:" field.

How do I get it so that in their inbox, the email says From: MyDomain.com

Thanks in advance and apologies for being dense!

What is the name of the php script? Is it one you wrote yourself or one similar to Jack's Formmail.php.

I believe it also depends on the server you are sending mail from as far as the name that appears in the "from" field.

I think I used something like the following to get it to work, but it's been a while.

"From: \"MyDomain.com\" <[e-mail]>\n"

mail($usersemail, $subject, $message, "From: SiteName<$myemail>\r\n"."Reply-To: SiteName<$myemail>");

My thanks to all - especially dreamcatcher, who was spot on!

Problem solved :-)
