agentk Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I have a contact form that sends emails to me with the customers email adress in the "from" section of the email, but it does not show the customers name. $from = "From: $visitormail\r\n"; Example: When using the above code and someone makes a contact submission on the form, my email account tells me I got a notification from whatever the visitors email is. How can I make both - the name AND the email adress - appear? I want it to look like the person sent me the email directly from their email inbox... with name and email showing... yet I want to also be able to just hit reply and send them a response without having to copy paste their email adress in the box. Its my way of adding professionalism to my customer service Thanks so much in advance again... you guys are awesome!

nitation Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 @ poster, try this; $headers = "From: $nameofuser<[email protected]>"; Note, the $nameofuser should be the value from the name in your form <input type ="text" name="nameofuser" value="<?php print $nameofuser; ?> Hope you solved.

genericnumber1 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 From: Joe Montana <[email protected]> that's the correct format for the header... I suppose for you it would be From: $visitorname <$visitoremail> or something along those lines Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/120627-solved-how-can-i-make-the-email-come-from-name-and-email/#findComment-621556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
