Hi Guys,

 

Hopefully this will be something simple. Ive written a nice little contact form using php to process it, everything seems to be working brilliantly except for one little thing. When i receive an email from my form in outlook, the from field says "anonymous". When i open up the email the address is an anonymous@random-numbers.domain.com type. Is there anything i can put in my php script to correct this as i don't have access to my 'php.ini'.

 

Thanks in advance.

Add a from header... e.g

 

<?php
//From: Web Master <webmaster@example.com>

mail('me@mydomain.com', 'Test message', 'Hello World', 'From: Web Master <webmaster@example.com>');

?>

 

You can read up on RFC2822 standard mail headers at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html Section 3.6 Field definitions.

Hi jock,

 

Thanks for the reply, i feel a little silly with this one because i managed to get it to work and it was such a simple thing.

 

'$from = "webmaster@domain.com"'

 

Completely missed that line. Maybe i should read a few books eh??
