I have the following headers in my Mailer class
// domain is equal to current domain with capital letters if any
$from = domain;
$replyto = 'noreply@'.strtolower(domain);
$headers = "From: $from
Reply-To: ".$replyto;
$headers .= "
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"utf-8\"
";
But for some reason when I send an email in my mailbox I receive an e-mail from myusername@myhost.com which is terrible. How can I have just my site name as the sender?
In order to parse names and email-addresses correctly, you should provide them in the following format:
'From: Name <email@domain.tld>'
So that would be something like
'From: Marty McVry <marty.mcvry@mydomain.com>'
Using your example:
$headers = "From: $from <$replyto>
Reply-To: ".$replyto;
Just a reminder: I hope that you don't have to use $domain instead of domain... Would be a silly typo otherwise. :-)
You could try using this code:
<?php
$to = 'nobody@example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "
" .
'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "
" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
