FROM address in mail() function

[salman_ahad@yahoo.com]

I need to use the FROM address in mail function. I don't know what is the proper syntax.

 

$to_email = "info@ideatoceo.com";
$from_email = "ansari@ideatoceo.com";
$subject = "Greetings";
$message = "Hi";

mail($to_email, $subject, $message);           //proper syntax to use FROM address???

$to_email = "info@ideatoceo.com";
$Headers = 'From: ansari@ideatoceo.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: ansari@ideatoceo.com';
$subject = "Greetings";
$message = "Hi";

mail($to_email, $subject, $message, $Headers);           //proper syntax to use FROM address???

 

Next time, just check the documentation

I am already using Headers to attach my email template.

 

I am still getting mail as From : Myname@xxxxx.12345.xxxx.server.net  (I am still not getting From : ansari@ideatoceo.com)

 

My code

 

<?php
$to_email = "mohammed.ahad@gmail.com";
$Headers = 'From: ansari@ideatoceo.com' . "\r\n" .
$subject = "Greetings";
$message = ''

I am still not getting the email From mentioned address.

 

I am still getting from name@xxxxx.xxxx.xx.server.net (which is my hosting server)

 

$headers = 'From: ansari@ideatoceo.com' . "\r\n" .

 

What could be wrong now?
