My site allows a user to send email to another user thru the mail() function, however, the "From" field shows up as....

MySiteName.com@servernumberxxx.thewebhostname.com

The webhost support person says this can't be changed. Is there anything in the mail function I can use to eliminate or hide the...

@servernumberxxx.thewebhostname.com

....section?

What I'm using ( very basic, and please point out anything I should change )...

$sendto = "$lister_email";
$subject = "Your Vehicle";
$body = "The following message is from $sender_fname $sender_lname about your listing at MySiteName.com.\n\n
$sender_fname's message...\n
\"$message\"\n\n
You can respond to this email directly to the interested person at $sender_email";
$from = "From: MySiteName.com\n";

mail($sendto, $subject, $body, $from);

try this

PHP Code:

<?



$fname = "Asim";



$from = "ch.asim@netbakers.com";



$recipient = "info@netbakers.com";



$subject = "Your code";



$message = " Name : $fname \n\n Email : $from \n\n message text here";

        

/* To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. */

$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";

$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";



/* additional headers */



$headers .= "From: $fname <$from>\r\nReply-To: $from \r\n";



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



echo "<script>alert('mail has been sent successfully!')</script>";



echo "<script language=javascript>location.href='index.html';</script>";



exit();



?>
