php mail problem

[BoarderLine]

I am using the following code to try and send an email.

$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = 'Request';

$message = "message content here";

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: [email protected]\r\nReply-To: [email protected]";

//send the email
mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );

 

The email is sending alright however in the sender and reply-to fields on the received email are showing:-

 

SENDER: [email protected]

REPLY-TO: ''@server.url.co.nz

 

I thought that these two email addresses were already set in the code

$headers .= "From: [email protected]\r\nReply-To: [email protected]";

 

Obviously I am missing something here....

 

Do I need to change something in php.ini or in the sendmail options ??

 

Can anyone please point me in the right direction here. 

 

Thanks.

Hey buddy, you could try using my function if you want. It's pretty simple stuff and I always use it on projects:

 

function simple_mail($from, $to, $subj, $msg, $charset="UTF-8", $extraheaders=""){
      $headers = "From: {$from}\n";
      $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
      $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"$charset\"\n";
      $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";
      $headers .= $extraheaders;
      $headers .= "\n";
      
      $msg = $msg."\n\nThank You";
      
      @ $ret = mail ($to, $subj, $msg, $headers, "-f$from");
      return $ret;
   }

Thanks Wayne, using this method got things a little better.

 

Still the following issues (F.Y.O. using Mozilla Thunderbird client):-

 

FROM is now displaying as [email protected] (thanks)

Although below that I have SENDER: [email protected] (which I dont want to displayed)

and REPLY-TO:[email protected] (which needs to be [email protected])

 

Any ideas???

Are you using

 

simple_mail($from, $to, $subj,

 

like

 

simple_mail("[email protected]", "[email protected], "Hi",

 

??

[BoarderLine]

yes

I used this:

simple_mail("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "subject", "message");

Hmm. That function always works for me. Maybe its your server or your email client.
