I am trying a simple mail php script to send an auto reply via a form everything works the mail gets sent once the form is filled out problem is the from path I have set up like this

PHP Code:


			
[left]mail ("myemail[at]myemaildomain.com", "A letter was requested", "$name just[/left]
used the form\n\n for $chname from $email.") ;

But when the email comes in the from adress is exactly this nobody[at]muy.surpasshosting.com Why is this? What can I do to get it to show the from feild the way I requested?

That would be a 'header' value.

PHP Code:


			
$headers .= "From: ".$from ."\r\n";



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