Problem Sending Emails

[sanfly]

Hi, I installed apache/php/mysql on my PC for testing my php pages, and im having a little trouble with scripts that require emails to be sent.  I will point out straght away that these scripts all work fine when I upload them to my webhost

The error message I am getting is along these lines

[quote]Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 <New Zealand Society for Oncology <myemail@myhost.com>>: "@" or "." expected after "New" in C:\server\www\NZSO\sendmessage.php on line 108[/quote]

This is my sendmail script

[code=php:0]$user_passwords_sender = "New Zealand Society for Oncology";
$user_passwords_email = "myemail@myhost.com";

$sendmail = mail($mail_to_email, $subject, $message, "From: $user_passwords_sender <$user_passwords_email>\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());[/code]


All I can guess from this is that for some reason it thinks that the name of recipient + email address is the email address, ie: it doesnt recogonise the format the "From" header is in. 

If I change my sendmail script to:

[code=php:0]$sendmail = mail($mail_to_email, $subject, $message, "From: $user_passwords_email \nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());[/code]


it works fine, so it likes the format "myemail@myhost.com" but not "New Zealand Society for Oncology <myemail@myhost.com>"

Can anyone suggest a way to fix this?

Cheers
