Kval Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hello... I have a site that sends an email using the following code: mail($email,"Welcome to ohio-dui-laws.com","Hello ".$fname.",\n\nYour account on Ohio Dui Laws has been created.\nPlease login and fill out your profile details in order to have access to all the member content. \n\n\tUsername : ".$email." \n\tPassword : ".$_POST["password"]."\n\nThanks for joining http://Ohio-dui-laws.com"); Currently, when the recipient receives the email the From is defaulting to the server and looks like this: ohiodui@209747.axxs.overnighthosting.com What I would like is for the From in the email header to show noreply@ohio-dui-laws.com. Would you be so kind and add whatever I need to the above code so that it displays noreply@ohio-dui-laws.com? Thank you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugix Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 you'll want to add a headers parameter $headers = 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday@example.com>' . "\r\n" just insert whatever email you want...so your mail() function will look like this now mail($email,"Welcome to ohio-dui-laws.com","Hello ".$fname.",\n\nYour account on Ohio Dui Laws has been created.\nPlease login and fill out your profile details in order to have access to all the member content. \n\n\tUsername : ".$email." \n\tPassword : ".$_POST["password"]."\n\nThanks for joining http://Ohio-dui-laws.com", '$headers'); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay...$headers was displaying as full text in the body of the email. I change to double quotes: mail($email,"Welcome to ohio-dui-laws.com","Hello ".$fname.",\n\nYour account on Ohio Dui Laws has been created.\nPlease login and fill out your profile details in order to have access to all the member content. \n\n\tUsername : ".$email." \n\tPassword : ".$_POST["password"]."\n\nThanks for joining http://Ohio-dui-laws.com", "$headers"); Plus, sadly it still is not working. The header says: ohiodui@209747.axxs.overnighthosting.com. I did copy and past the <head> info: $headers = 'From: Ohio-DUI-LAWS/DUI Self Help Website <noreply@ohio-dui-laws.com>' . "\r\n" Any thoughts? Thank you again, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
