Changing the senders email address in the mail()

rinventive · May 23rd, 2006, 04:06 PM

I have been trying to find a way to change the name of the senders email when using the mail() function. I would like it to change the senders email address to read something like "Company Name Inc".

The problem is when I set the $from = "From: Company Name Inc"

I get the email with the from being: [email protected]@ourserver....urserv er.com

is there anyway I can change this?

I have found that if I change it to [email protected]

it sends the email with the from being:

[email protected]

I would really like to have it read: "Company Name Inc" period I want to remove the @whatever.com all together.

Thanks for your help

$str="body";
$to ="[email protected]";
$from_header = "[email protected]";
$subject="subject";
$contents=$str;
$Sender="Sender Name";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $Sender <[email protected]>\r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: [email protected]\r\n";
if($contents != "")
   {
      mail($to, $subject, $contents , $headers);
   }
else
   {
          print("<HTML><BODY>Error, no message were sent!");
         print("</BODY></HTML>");
   }
