The problems that I'm having with the mail function stem from the extra
arguments that I'm trying to pass it. What I'm trying to do is write a
script to mail links to interesting stories to other people. In doing this,
I want to make the mail appear that it came from the e-mail address of the
person who wanted to send the link. So, what I've tried so far is this:
$message_subject="This message is a test";
$extraparams="From:
".$HTTP_POST_VARS['youraddress']."\nReply-To:".$HTTP_POST_VARS['youraddress'
]."\nX-Mailer: PHP/". phpversion();
$message=$message_header.$HTTP_POST_VARS['message'].$message_footer;
$success=mail($HTTP_POST_VARS['email'], $message_subject, $message,
$extra_params)
or die("Whoops, looks like mail() isn't configured in
this installation of PHP!");
The message that I recieve when I run this script has a "From:" field
reading as the user that the script is running under on the web server, and
I recieve a blank message body, as well as no subject.
I decided to try using the mail() function with just the first three
arguments (i.e. the destination address, the subject, and the message body),
and it kind of worked, meaning that it sent me a message with the correct
subject filled out, and the correct message body, but it was still coming
from the same address, the name of the web server user. Can someone help me
with placing the correct args in the 4th parameter to get mail() or Sendmail
or whatever to send a message with the correct return address and From:
field?
Thank you,
Kevin Fogleman
