[SOLVED] Email system.

[cpharry]

Before i start i have go not much php knowledge so dont give it to me in jargon that i wont understand.

 

Basically i have setup a script that when the user puts there email in its send an email to me stating the email as the title and another email to the person saying that we have recieved it.

 

The problem i have is that the email a new person gets automatically goes in their junk box and the sender is [email protected]

 

Now thats rubbish and i dont want it to be that i want it to be [email protected]

 

Heres the code for the process page im using.

 

<?php
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
  $to = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
  $subject = "WoW Base";
  $body = "
  
Hello,\n

We have recieved your email. As soon as we have a precise date for opening we will email it to you.\n

After we fully open you will recieve a monthly newsletter. If you dont wish to recieve it then please reply to this email stating that.\n

WoW Base\n";

  mail( "$email", "WoW Base Email Notification", "$body", "$email" );

  mail( "[email protected]", "Newsletter & Opening Email",
    $message, "From: $email" );
  header( "Location: http://www.wow-base.co.uk/" );

?>

 

www.wow-base.co.uk

 

Thats the site its all working but not right as i have said at the top.

 

Thanks to any that can help.

The From: $email should succeed in adding the author to the email. Unless...$email is not a valid email address?

 

Try putting in your email address instead of $email and see what happens.

No still get the from thing saying [email protected]

 

There has to be a way that i can make that change from that into WoW Base.

I set all my email addresses before i write the email and then just put the variables into where they want to be

$radd = "myemail";

mail( $radd, $subject,
        $mail, "From: $email" );

 

Not sure if that will help you.
