email() with header information

[systech44]

Hi,

I am trying to send email using mail() with the following header information. However the email goes from [email protected]. How do I get my mail script to send email from my email id instead of [email protected].

$headers = "From: XXXX <[email protected]>"."\n"."MIME-Version:1.0"."\r\n"."Content-type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"."\r\n"."X-Priority: 3"."\n"."X-MSMail-Priority: Normal"."\n"."X-Mailer: xxx"."\n"."X-MimeOLE: Produced By xxx";

mail($email, $subject, $read, $headers);

Please help.

You've a mix of \n and \r\n between your headers. SMTP headers are delimited by \r\n.

Thank you for the reply penagate. But this is not working. I remove all "\r\n" and there is no error mail in my inbox. Please try to cope up the situation. Thank you so much.

No no no. The \r\n separators are required.

Try this:

$headers = "From: XXXX <[email protected]>\r\n".
"MIME-Version:1.0\r\n".
"Content-type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n".
"X-Priority: 3\r\n".
"X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\r\n".
"X-Mailer: xxx\r\n".
"X-MimeOLE: Produced By xxx\r\n";


Sorry if I misled you.


P.S. Alternatively, you can put headers into an array, and then join them into a string. This is more manageable than hard-coding one long string.

$headers = array(
  'From: XXXX <[email protected]>',
  'MIME-Version:1.0',
  'Content-type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1',
  'X-Priority: 3',
  'X-MSMail-Priority: Normal',
  'X-Mailer: xxx',
  'X-MimeOLE: Produced By xxx'
);

mail(... join("\r\n", $headers), ...);
