"From" in mail() header problem.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Ave,

I¹ve written a simple script to send a mail out in HTML format to the
recipient. Everything is working fine... Except the ³From² header. The
recipient receives the email from ³World Wide Web Server <www@xxxxxxxxxxxx>²
instead of what I have specified. Here¹s my code...


<FORM action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post" name="one"><TEXTAREA
name="desc" cols="20" rows="5"></TEXTAREA><INPUT name="Submit" type="submit"
value="Submit"></FORM>
<?
if($Submit) {
$to = "myemail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$subject = "SOMETHING : File Upload Notification";
$message = "
<html><head></head>
<body>
Hi,
<br><br>
You have recieved a new file in the Something File Manager, with the
following details:
<br><br>
Name: One<br>
Size: 94685 Bytes<br>
Description: $desc<br>
Date: $now
<br><br>
Please visit <b>SOMETHING File Manager</a></b> to login to your account and
download the file.<br>
This is an automated notification email. Please do not reply to this email.
<br><br>
Regards,<br>
SOMETHING<br>
</body></html>
";
$message = stripslashes($message);
mail($to,$subject,$message,'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1;
From: SOMETHING <something@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Reply-To: myemail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx;
MIME-Version: 1.0; X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion());
echo "It is done";
}
?>

... I don¹t know what I¹m doing wrong, it¹s not reading the FROM or Reply-TO
in the headers. Instead of the mail stating ³Something
<something@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>² at the recipient¹s end, it is stating ³World Wide
Web Server <www@xxxxxxxxxxxx>² .. I have no clue why.

Thanks,
