PHP Mailer

[ririe44]

Hey everyone!  I'm hoping there's a solution to my problem.  I have the following code which supports my new mailer, but I'd like to make a custom "From" part that I could put my sites name, or something... right now it is from my "$adminaddress", and I'd prefer to have it say something like "$sitename Form". 

 

From what I understand about mail(), it's mail(to, subject, content)... but nothing for a "from"... Let me know, thanks!

 

mail ("$adminaddress","$subject",
"A visitor at $sitename has left the following information\n
Email: $sender\n
The visitor commented:
------------------------------
$message

change this:

 

("$adminaddress","$subject",

 

to this;

("$sitename form","$subject",

[ririe44]

But then it wouldn't get to me... The script wouldn't have anywhere to go... except to the $sitename, right?

[premiso]

$adminaddress = $sitename . " <" . $adminaddress . ">";

 

Should work.

 

Edit:

Switched < and > to be correct.

Okay, I'm attaching the full code... because this is still not making any sense to me. 

 

<?  

$adminaddress = "email@yourdomain.com"; 
$siteaddress ="http://www.yourdomain.com"; 
$sitename = "yourdomain.com"; 

//No need to change anything below ... 
// Gets the date and time from your server
$date = date("m/d/Y H:i:s");

// Gets the IP Address
if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "") $ip = "no ip";
else $ip = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);

// Gets the POST Headers - the Flash variables
$sender = $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender'] ;
$subject = $HTTP_POST_VARS['subject'] ;
$message = $HTTP_POST_VARS['message'] ;

//Process the form data!
// and send the information collected in the Flash form to Your nominated email address

mail ("$adminaddress","$subject",
"A visitor at $sitename has left the following information\n
Email: $sender\n
The visitor commented:
------------------------------
$message

Logged Info :
------------------------------
Using: $HTTP_USER_AGENT
Hostname: $ip
IP address: $REMOTE_ADDR
Date/Time:  $date","FROM: $adminaddress" ) ; 

//This sends a confirmation to your visitor
mail ("$sender","Thank You for visiting $sitename", 
"Hi $sender,\n
Thank you for contacting $sitename!\n Your message was received.
Respectfully,
Webmaster@$sitename
$siteaddress") ; 

?>

 

So, what if I want it to be:  From:$sender, To:$adminaddress, Subject:$subject... how would you change the above code?  Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Awesome!  Thanks so much, it worked great!  I'm still trying to analyze how it works (obviously new to this php thing...)

 

Wanna help me with one more thing on this script?  At the end, there's a confirmation email sent to the sender.  Right now, the "From" address is coming from my server, but I'd rather is say "yourdomain.com", or $sitename.  Is this possible?  Thanks in advance!
