Hello, Thanks for the reply. I think for now I am going to go with just keeping track and inserting each time. I got it to do what I needed it to do within 10 minutes. So it works and I understand the process and how to code it. Thanks

Hello, Looking for help. Need to keep track of when a download takes place, basically a hit on a file. I have an overall counter functioning and working. I need to track by Month and Year as well. Not sure how to set up database. My first thought was just insert a new entry each time. Example: click on file A then insert into database file A, date. Then I can count how many times for a particular month or year for that file was entered. My question is, does this sound ok or is there another way? It seems that this database will get really big over the years. Any suggestions or examples/guidance would be great if I am way off. Thanks in advance. ???

Use this: [code]$headers = "From: John Smith <test@test.com>\r\n"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)[/code] [/quote] Worked like a charm! Thanks

Hello, I am using the mail() function/command. whenever I Put mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $from) I have a problem with the $from variable. The email sends. The problem I am having is if my email was test@test.com when I receive the email it says it is from test. It seems to drop everything else. When I look at the return email, the proper email does show up => test@test.com. What am I missing if my variable $from = "test@test.com"; Also, is there a way to have it send "John Smith" <test@test.com>?? Any help would be great. Thank you in advance
