Brad I'm sorry. Instead of insulting you and telling you to go read a book I simply explained an option. Yes you do not need quotes in the mail() function. As for the declared variables I was trying to show you an example. You will find many explanations for how or what is best practice. Remember that some people like to toot a horn that can be reputed in many ways. These are the same people who again and again are not the ones who answer the questions, yet try to take credit by belittling the answer with gibberish. The answer was intended to take you in a better direction when constructing a email application in php. $eol="\r\n"; $headers .= "From: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol; $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol; $headers .= "Return-Path: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol; $headers .= "Message-ID: <".time()."-".$fromaddress.">".$eol; $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion().$eol; $msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary.$eol; $msg .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1".$eol; $msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol.$eol; $msg .= $body.$eol.$eol; mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers); -----Original Message----- From: M.

I don't get it, what's so hard to understand about NOT HAVING TO USE ANY QUOTES HERE ? Are you defining any type of string-like values here? no. Then you don't need quotes, right? no, you don't. SO DON'T USE THEM HERE THEN. You're defining a $to and an $E_MAIL, you're not using $to anywhere, and only using $E_MAIL in one place (out of two), thus creating a mismatch between your headers and the To parameter for mail (which is used in SMTP traffic).
