Problem with PHP Mail From Name

pets2soul · August 24, 2010

Hello! Dear all,

I'm having this problem with PHP Mail From Name, it took me entire day, and still haven't figure out the issue...that is...

In "From: ", if I have it in simple email format, such as "From: name@server.com" it works...but when I have it with a From Name, eg. "From: Name <name@server.com>", then it just wouldn't send...

I heard that some of the servers just won't parse "Name <name@server.com>", if it is the case...would there be any work around to get that From Name appeared?

The code is attached below, any help is deeply appreciated!

<?php
//For Captcha
include("settings.php");
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
@session_start();
$string = strtoupper($_SESSION['string']);
$userstring = strtoupper($_POST['userstring']); 
@session_destroy(); 
if (($string != $userstring) || (strlen($string) <= 4)) {
header("location:contact_us.php");
exit();
}

//PHP Mail starts here
$form_name = $_POST["name"];
$form_company = $_POST["company"];
$form_email = $_POST["email"];
$form_phone = $_POST["phone"];
$form_mobile = $_POST["mobile"];
$form_msg = $_POST["msg"];
$form_date = date(Y)."-".date(m)."-".date(d);
$form_ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
$form_lang = "en";

$fromname = "Name";
$frommail = "name@server.com";

@require("../default_timezone.php");

$con = mysql_connect("host","user","pass");
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
if (!$con)
{
die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("dbname", $con);
mysql_query("INSERT INTO tablename (CU_Name, CU_Company, CU_Email, CU_Tel, CU_Mobile, CU_Content, CU_CreateDate, CU_IP, lang)
