[SOLVED] How can I make the email come from name AND email?

[agentk]

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!

@ poster,

 

try this;

 

$headers = "From: $nameofuser<darius@yahoo.com>";

 

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.

that's the correct format for the header... I suppose for you it would be

 

From: $visitorname <$visitoremail>

 

or something along those lines

Any ideas?
