if i'm using the mail() function to send an email (for example, for a lost password form), how do i control what shows up in the "From" field when it arrives in the person's inbox? I want it to say that it's from either the site's name or some other email address.

Anybody with suggestions?

maby something like this

PHP Code:

$from = 'passwordrecovery@example.com';

mail($to, $subject, $message, $from);

PHP Code:

$contactemail = "Email_address_to_send_to";

$subject = "Welcome to $title"; 

$headers = "From: MY_EMAIL_ADDRESS"; 

$message = "hey hey";



mail($contactemail, $subject, $message, $headers);
