email php form sending hosting Server info..

[grk101]

Hi,

 

when someone fills out a script i have.

 

instead of sending out the reply email it says

 

from "  [email protected] "

 

anyone know why that would be?

$message = "Visitor's IP: $ip\n"
. "name: $name\n"
. "phone: $phone\n"
. "email: $email\n"
. "comments: $comments\n";

@mail($to, $subject ,$message  ) ;

//Sending auto respond Email to visitor
$header = "From: [email protected]\n"
  . "Reply-To: [email protected]\n";
$subject = "tech support";
$email_to = "$email";
$message = "thanks";
@mail($email_to, $subject ,$message ,$header ) ;


//saving record in a text file
$file_name = "test.csv";
$first_raw = "inqType,where,other,name,comments\r\n";
$values = "$inqType,$where,$other,$name,".str_replace ("\r\n","<BR>",$comments )."\r\n";
$is_first_row = false;
if(!file_exists($file_name))
{
$is_first_row = true ;
}
if (!$handle = fopen($file_name, 'a+')) {
die("Cannot open file ($file_name)");
exit;
}
if ($is_first_row)
{
  if (fwrite($handle, $first_raw ) === FALSE) {
  die("Cannot write to file ($filename)");
  exit;
  }
}
if (fwrite($handle, $values) === FALSE) {
  die("Cannot write to file ($filename)");
  exit;
}
fclose($handle);


echo("<p align='center'><font face='Arial' size='2' color='#000000'>thank you</font></p>");
       unset($_SESSION['security_code']);
   } else {
           header( "Location: error.html" );

You don't indicate which mail() function is not working.

 

Your first mail() function does not contain the extra header parameter so it will use the default settings in the php.ini for the From: address. Your second mail() function is using the extra header field, but is only using \n as the new line. Try using a specification \r\n to see if the header lines start being recognized.
