Hi, does anyone know how to make the form message that comes to my email address contain a different From: address?

The area in our emails where it says Subject:
Date:
From:
To:
I would like the from area to say my own email address, not the long sever address they give me.

Thanks a lot, Jen

$to = "[email protected]";
$from_address = "[email protected]";
$from_name = "Your Name";
$subject = "This is the subject";
$message = "your message here";

$headers .= "From: \"".$from_name."\" <".$from_address.">\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

OK Thanks a lot. I added this per your instructions.

$headers .= "From: \" <".$from_address.">\n";
mail($message, $headers);
$from_address = "myemailaddress@myemailaddress";
$message = $_REQUEST['message'];
mail("myemailaddressagain", "Sent From Form", $headers,""
$message,"" );

This is the only thing I changed in my php code. But now it doesn't work at all. So the error is just in the above part.
Can you see anything wrong with it? Jen

How about showing us the code that you are currently using, so we can tell you how to change it.

[Rianna]

OK sure, not much more to it. Jen

<?php

$headers .= "From: \" <".$from_address.">\n";
mail($message, $headers);
$from_address = "myemailaddress@myemailaddress";
$message = $_REQUEST['message'];
mail("myemailaddressagain", "Sent From Form", $headers,""
$message,"" );

header( "Location: [a href=\"http://mywebaddress/thankyou.html");\" target=\"_blank\"]http://mywebaddress/thankyou.html");[/a]
?>

[wisewood]

you're declaring the message and from_address after the point where you've used them.

This has been tested and works.

<?php
$to = "recipient_email_address";
$from_address = "senders_email_address";
$from_name = "senders_name";
$subject = "subject_of_the_email";
$message = "Message_body_goes_here";

$headers .= "From: \"".$from_name."\" <".$from_address.">\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);



header( "Location: [a href=\"http://mywebaddress/thankyou.html");\" target=\"_blank\"]http://mywebaddress/thankyou.html");[/a]
?>

Got it! Thanks.
