Small mail problem

[forumnz]

Hey,

 

I am using the mail function to send an email from my site. If I have the email address in the From: part, then it says in the email that it's from "no-reply@domain.com".

However I want it to say that the message is from "John Doe [no-reply@domain.com]" (as displayed in Outlook).

 

How do I achieve that?

 

At the moment I have:

	$headers  = "From: John  Doe [no-reply@domain.com]\r\n";

 

Which returns:

User Joen Doe [johndoe@plesk-bsd.hosting.isx.net.nz]

 

Please help,

Thanks,

Sam.

You have to also set this in your php.init file...

Where is that?

[phpSensei]

<?php
ini_set("sendmail_from","website@hotmail.com");
?>

Can I use that in a script or do I have to edit php.ini?

Thanks.

Create a new php file, and just run it on a script.
