Contact Form Issue

[timmah1]

My contact form works perfect, except the FROM: part, it's showing

[email protected]

I want it to show this: LEO Builders <[email protected]>

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

<?php
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: LEO Builders <[email protected]>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-to: [email protected]\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ; // Send Email for each record found
?>

 

Thanks in advance

The only difference I see from your code and php.net's is that you are using "\n" and they are using "\r\n", and the "To" header.

 

Maybe if you add those, it would work... but I don't see why it won't work.

i think the way you are doing it won't work per say. The email client usually formats the way the From address looks like... I could be wrong

[timmah1]

If I take out the email on this line

$headers .= "From: LEO Builders <[email protected]>\n";

it works, I have no idea.

 

I tried user "r\n" on every line, but still nothing.

 

But it works now, not the way I want, but it's working better.

 

Thanks TLG

ok, this is strking me as very odd

 

On my form, I have this

$name1 = "LEO Builders <[email protected]>";
$headers = "From: ". $name1 . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\"\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ; // Send Email for each record found

 

That shows From: being [email protected]

 

But, if I take out the s on the name in the email

$name1 = "LEO Builders <[email protected]>";
$headers = "From: ". $name1 . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\"\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ; // Send Email for each record found

 

The From: shows this LEO Builders <[email protected]>

 

Can anybody tell me why that is?

I don't see where you took out the S?
