From doesnt seem to appear when i recieve my email

[dazz_club]

Hi all,

 

I making a basic email script and so far so good.

 

i test the email by completing the form, i then check my email account to see if its turned  up. Its there, all is good, but when i go to read it, i can see in the from section of the headers it reads , basiclly this email was sent by (my serverhost) on behalf of me, (displays my email)

 

This is what is displayed when i open up the email to read it

 

From:  awss[at]server11.kthosting.com on behalf of DARREN@.com

Reply-to:  darren[at]yahoo.co.uk

To:  darrenpaulazzopardi[at]hotmail.com

 

is this something to do with my host not allowing me to send emails from the website or is it the php script;

 

$to = "darrenpaulazzopardi[at]@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Your Free sample order";
$content = "sample:\n
Thank you for your interest in our productTEST. Your sample will be despatched shortly";
$header = "From: DARREN@.com\r\nReply-To: dazzclub@yahoo.co.uk\n";
//spacer
mail($to, $subject, $content, $header);

From: DARREN@.com

 

Try an email address that could be real ie. information@thiswebsite.com

 

It should be easy to send from any e-mail address. I woiuld just use this (with pre-verification)

 

<?php

mail ('somoene@email.com', 'This is a subject', 'content here', 'From:another@email.com');

?>

Hi fri3ndly

 

I've tried both of your suggestions earlier and it still appears that in the from section of my email it displays

 

From:    admin[at]server11.kthosting.com on behalf of darrenpaulazzopardi[at]hotmail.com 

 

i'll do some diggin about.

 

kind regards

Try this code  ;)

$to = "darrenpaulazzopardi[at]@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Your Free sample order";
$content = "sample:\n
Thank you for your interest in our productTEST. Your sample will be despatched shortly";
$header = "From: DARREN@.com\nReply-To: dazzclub@yahoo.co.uk\n";
//spacer
mail($to, $subject, $content, $header);
[code]

while writing the header section of mail you hv to put \r\n if your server is windows , if your server in linux you hv to pu tonly \n   change  [b]DARREN@.com\r\nReply-To:[/b] TO [b]DARREN@.com\nReply-To:[/b]

[/code]

Hi Ansarka,
