martin20009 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I downloaded the tutorial Creating a mail form wth php and flash.I am having problems with the code.<?php$to = "you@yourdomain.com";$msg = "$name\n\n";$msg .= "$message\n\n";mail($to, $subject, $msg, "From: My web site\nReply-To: $email\n");?>[/code]But the problem is that my website host says In order for the script to work, you need to specify, via a fifth -f parameter, the domain from which the mail is being sent. The PHP component uses SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), and all StreamlineNet' SMTP servers have filters which ensure that the data returned by either the first or fifth mail parameter relates to one of your domains hosted by StreamlineNet and gives me the following code,<?php$message, "From: $email", "fuser@userdomain.com" );?>Where do i place this line of code in the the sorce code I am new to this and any help would be greatThanksMartin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman6003 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 [code]mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers, "-f someuser@somedomain.com");[/code]Essentially, it forces the header to look like it's coming from that person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
