PHP Mail

[jimleeder123]

I'm still having trouble with the headers for PHP Mail. I can make the email work with just the HTML header and no "From" header. However if I have the "From" Header, the "from" address works, but then the HTML doesn't. Below is my code, does anyone know how to fix this please?

 

$headers = 'From: JMS <thejms@jms.co.uk>' . "\r\n";
$headers.= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";

 

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

Usually the from address must be from the same domain that this email is being sent from. Is your domain jms.co.uk?

[jimleeder123]

No, I've tried an address with my own domain and that doesn't work.

 

I've got this, but the from address doesn't work, and HTML does work:

 

$headers= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';
$headers.= 'From: James <blah@blah.co.uk>' . "\r\n";

Can we see all the relevant code? Maybe an echo of the arguments in the mail() call?

Everything is working except the headers. The mail call is:

 

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

You will make your mailing life easier if you take the time to learn how to use a third-party mailing library like PHPmailer or Swiftmailer and take advantage of them.

You won't show us the contents of the arguments? Why?
