PHP Mail Display Name

[oduth]

Hi,

I have a problem with Mail Display name. I would really appreciate If you could help me with this.

 

A part of my PHP file:

...

...

$headers = 'From: IT Service Desk <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8';

...

...

 

Here is the (echo $headers) result: (You can see there is no <e-mail_address> part of headers)

From: IT Service Desk Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

 

So, my mail could not be sent.

 

I tried this as well;

...

...

$headers = 'From: IT Service Desk <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8';

...

...

 

The output:

> From: IT Service Desk <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

 

Although the output looks correct, my mail could not be sent once again.

 

What could the possible problems be? 

 

Thanks & Regards.

This might sound like a dumb question, but is Avea.com.tr the domain that the mail is being sent from? Most servers will only allow mail to be send "as [email protected]" if whatever.com is the domain being sent.

Yes, the domain is avea.com.tr.

Actually, below code works fine.

 

...

$headers .= "From: [email protected]\r\n";

...

 

But not with Display name.

At last, I solved the issue.

 

Just put "ini_set" commands at the top of the code;

ini_set ("SMTP","<ip_address>");

ini_set ("sendmail_from","[email protected]");

 

$headers = "From: XYZ <[email protected]>\n";

$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8";
