PHP: set the FROM to an email
 

hi guys!

im writting a script in PHP and I found out that the mail function does not allow the sendmail_from unless from windows. But I need to set the FROM field in every email and I dont know how...
Im also a bit confused about this whole mailing thing from linux, for what's worth I have succesfully installed Qmail.

Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

The from is set in the ini file but I believe that as part of the 4th (optional) parameter you can send additional headers that can include Reply-TO information.

Sendmail - assigning FROM
 

add this line in your php script:


$headers .= "From: Whatever Name <name@email.com>\r\n";
