mattennant Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I'm trying to sort out sending an email to admin when a user updates their info all is going fine with the following if ($_POST['mailer'] =='y'){ $body = 'you have a new message from a user.' ; mail($_POST['email'], 'Message from user' , $body, 'blah@blah.com'); but if i try if ($_POST['mailer'] =='y'){ $body = 'you have a new message from a user.' ; $from = 'blah@blah.com' ; mail($_POST['email'], 'Message from user' , $body, $from); i receive the mail, but it comes from Apache rather than blah@blah.com do i need to looka t my server setting, or am i making some stupid error Thanks Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
