Show "From" in Email

[doubledee]

How do I make sure the "From" shows up in an e-mail sent from a form?

 

Here is my code...

// E-mail Inquiry to Administrator.
$to = 'debbie@mail.com';
$subject = $trimmed['subject'];
$inquiry = $trimmed['inquiry'];
$from = $trimmed['senderEmail'];
//	$headers = $from;
mail($to, $subject, $inquiry);
//	mail($to, $subject, $inquiry, $headers);

 

 

When I do a test from my laptop, I get this in my e-mail inbox...

 

Subject: Re: Test 1

From: user1@user1s-macbook.local

Date: Sun, Oct 09, 2011 8:46 pm

To: debbie@mail.com

 

 

As you can see above, I did *not* include $from in my mail statement...

 

What is going on?

This doesn't asnwer your question, but, in general, depending on your host, I would send it from one of your own email addresses on your domain, then attach a reply-to with the from email. Most spam fliters don't like the from address not matching the domain it is being sent from

I don't understand what you are saying...

try this:

$headers .= 'From:  <"'.$from.'">' . "\r\n";
