AyKay47 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 the "From" header is to be added to the additional $headers parameter to be passed as the fourth agument...there is some incorrect syntax here, i suggest you read the manual on the mail function... http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
