email says from"[email protected]" instead of my email address...

aaricwon · February 13, 2008

I made a email form. I would like it to display that I am the sender but instead it says what you see above.

Do you know how I can change it?

revraz · February 13, 2008

Lets see the email form. If you left out the FROM: header, it will use the info stored in the php.ini file.

here you go... Thanks!

You have no header section in your mail() function, so it's pulling that address from your php.ini.

Could you tell me what code I need to insert to get it to say that [email protected] is the sender?

Look at the last line

haku · February 13, 2008

After setting the header, you may find that you need to also create the email address that you want it to come from. Some providers require an address to exist before they will allow it to be attached to an email.

revraz · February 14, 2008

That's what a FROM: header does.

legohead6 · February 14, 2008

i can send mail from mine and declare any random address, great pranking tool!

haku · February 14, 2008

That's what a FROM: header does.

Yes, I know. But some hosts (including mine) require that the address used in the from header be an existing address. Its spam prevention. I wish all of them did that to tell the truth, it would probably cut down on a lot of the spam out there.

email says from"[email protected]" instead of my email address...
