Mail From Nobody@mytchserver.here

[boxturt]

I recently modified a (php) calendar script to notify admin (me) whenever a registered user posts an event. I simply added:

 

><?php

 mail( "calendar@mysite.org", "Event $month / $day / $year",
	$text, $title );
?>

 

and I get the information. Problem is it comes from Nobody@mytchserver.here. Ok, Nobody owns the script right?

 

So how can I get the email to be sent from the site? Spam filters go crazy with mail from Nobody. Probably an easy fix but I'm just not seeing it.

 

Thanks for any input, it's always appreciated.

What you want would be part of the header. Take a look at Example #2 on that page. It should be helpful.

Example 3 on the link Jeren gave should also help

><?php
 mail( "calendar@mysite.org", "Event $month / $day / $year", $text, $title, "-fmyscript@mysite.com");
?>

Thanks guys, much appreciated. #3 gave the right 'from' address but kept sending as Nobody <calendar@mysite.org> so I ended up with:

 

><?php
$to	  = 'calendar@mysite.org';
$subject = "Event Added $month / $day / $year";
$message = "$title\n\n $text";
$headers = 'From: calendar@mysite.org' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: calendar@mysite.org' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

 

which sends to the right address with no name attached, which is fine!

 

Thanks again.

Change the mail line to add a from of your choosing.

 

>mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers "-f".sendfrom@domain.ext)

I'm glad to have been of some help.
