php mail from function

[Giddy Rob]

Hi,

 

I am having problems with emailing as I want to set an email in the from field but it just uses the server the sites on. I can set up the prefix to the @ but after that its not what I want.

 

How do I specify whatever full email address I want?

 

e.g. I don't want [email protected], I want [email protected]

 

Please Help

 

Cheers

 

Rob

Try something like this. 

 

$headers="From:Your Display Name<your email [email protected]>\n";

  $headers.="Content-Type:text/html;CHARSET=iso-8859-1\n"; //you can probably try it without this line just for a text message

                   

 

  $subject="subject here";

 

  $msg="message here";

 

                  mail($address,$subject,$msg, $headers); //put the delivery email in $address
