phpmailer from header

[Tikkie]

I'm new to PHP and working on a mailform with phpmailer with attachment. Everything works fine but the received mail keeps having my Gmail address in the from header.

The AddReplyTo address works fine but I don't want to show the gmail address.

 

This is what my code looks like:

 

 

require('C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPMailer\class.phpmailer.php');

 

$mail = new PHPMailer();  // create a new object

$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP

$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;  // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only

$mail->SMTPAuth = true;  // authentication enabled

$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail

$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';

$mail->Port = 465; 

$mail->Username = 'myaccount@gmail.com';  

$mail->Password = 'mypassword'; 

$mail->SetFrom('e-mail@address.com', 'email@address.com');

$mail->AddReplyTo('e-mail@address.com', 'e-mail@address.com');

 

$mail->AddAddress("myaccount@gmail.com", "MyAccount");

$mail->Subject = "TestMail";

$mail->Body    = "This is the message body";

$mail->AddAttachment("test.txt", "test.txt");  // optional name

if(!$mail->Send())

{

   echo "Error";

   exit;

}

else {

echo "OK";

}

 

 

 

I only want to use the gmail smtp but want to show another e-mail address (e-mail@address.com in thie example) in the header. But it keeps showing myaccount@gmail.com.

Also in the class.phpmailer.php I've configurated the $From, $FromName and $Sender as e-mail@address.com but this doesn't work.

 

Can somebody help me with this?

GMail restricts using random addresses from your personal account. To change that, open up your gmail account and add another mail address you own. 

 

Settings -> Accounts -> Add another email address you own
