I have a basic form created.
When the user fills and sends the form, in my client's email inbox it comes in FROM my server name.
I have been looking through the code where I can edit this, but I am more designer than programmer.
What should I be looking for?
Thanks so much
you can only setup a name "displayed" to the receiver first. If the receiver looks into the message-header he will still see the origin (your server).
This is the usual snippet for this (see $headers)
<?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);
?>
In your PHP function you need to set the "From" in the header
mail("me@domain.com" "Subject", "Body", "From: sender@domain.com");
mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )
In the aditional headers you can add the From
header, for example:
mail("user@domain.com", "Test", "message", "From: user@domain.com BCC:friend@domain.com")
Also, you can change the Default From
header in the php.ini
if my memory doesn't fail.
