mail function with 2 header parameters

[ariamehr14038]

Hello experts,
I use this code to send email to myself, as you can see I use header parameter to specify "From: " header:

@mail("[email protected]", $_POST['Subject'], $Message . $_POST['Update'], "From: [email protected]");

It works, but the email I get contains this in the headers:

X-PHP-Script: www.domain.com/update.php for 93.37.38.39
X-PHP-Originating-Script: 2989:update.php
From: [email protected]

To remove the above 2 X-PHP headers, someone told me to use: "X-PHP-Script: "
To replace the X-PHP headers with null.
However, no idea how to use both "From:" headers and "X-PHP" header together.
Anyone can help please? :)

Use PHPMailer as it is much easier.

Hi,

No way, can't change the scripts, just going to get it fixed, can assign an array to the headers to achieve this? If so, how to do?

Please help

Someone told you?  Who was that exactly?

This behavior is caused by settings in the PHP.ini.  See this page:  https://www.php.net/manual/en/mail.configuration.php#ini.mail.add-x-header. You are able to disable these variables in the PHP.in configuration.

The mail() function drops mail off for the system Mail Transfer Agent.  In many cases, hosting companies utilize those variables to insure that outbound mail is authorized, and this may end up stopping mail delivery.  

You should contact your hosting provider to inquire about disabling the settings.

To remove the X-PHP headers from your email, you can use the ini_set() function to disable the addition of these headers before sending your email.
