[SOLVED] email from form issue

[Albatross]

Mornin all! 

 

I have a html form application that gets processed by some php code, returns a result page to the applicant, stores the info in a db, and emails myself and another person.

 

The problem I have is that when I get the email, I see the domain server email addy, not the registered domain.

 

(ex : bob@webhostprovider.com  instead of molly@retribution.com)  (both are techincally correct but I want my paid domain used....not the default webhost domain.  Based on the code below, is there a way I can change it so that I get the domain that I want?

 

$inputfield00=@($_POST['name']);
$inputfield01=@($_POST['history']);
$inputfield02=@($_POST['recruiting']);
$inputfield03=@($_POST['email']);
$inputfield04=@($_POST['im']);
$inputfield05=@($_POST['charname']);
$inputfield06=@($_POST['charage']);
$inputfield07=@($_POST['bio']);
$inputfield08=@($_POST['strengths']);
$inputfield09=@($_POST['whatship']);
$inputfield10=@($_POST['responsibilities']);
$inputfield11=@($_POST['sample']);

$mailto="me@domain.com";
$mysubject="Application for '$_POST[name]'.";

$mail = 'An application requires your review.:

Message: '.$message.'
Field 1: '.$inputfield00.'
Field 2: '.$inputfield01.'
Field 3'.$inputfield02.'
Field 4 '.$inputfield03.'
Field 5 '.$inputfield04.'
Field 6'.$inputfield05.'
Field 7'.$inputfield06.'
Field 8'.$inputfield07.'
Field 9'.$inputfield08.'
Field 10'.$inputfield09.'
Field 11'.$inputfield010.'
Field 12'.$inputfield11;

$header .= "Application";

mail($mailto, $mysubject, $mail, $header);
?>

 

(This is all of the mailer code.)

$header = 'From: Bob <bob@domain.com>';

whats with the overuse of the error supressing operator!?!!?

[Albatross]

To be honest, it's what I started with way back when and it worked......so I kept using it.  If you know of a better, cleaner way, I am truly all ears.

 

(Copy/pasting the same code across sheets is a pain in the backside....believe me)

 

[heckenschutze]

well for example:

$inputfield00 = ((array_key_exists('name', $_POST)) ? $_POST['name'] : "my default value");
