We use it a lot to tidy up emails set from reset your password functions and the like. It should be trivial to set the From: header based on a db result or whatever. There is a much expanded version of this solution regarding sending emails with attachments through mail() on in the online php manual, check out kieran dot huggins at rogers dot com's comments and some others on the http://us4.php.net/mail page (it's a 06-Nov-2002 comment).

Re: [PHP] Mail From option in PHP.ini
From the php website, it appears that the [EMAIL PROTECTED] can be put in the fifth parameter of the mail() function: Example 3. Sending mail with extra headers and setting an additional command line parameter. mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], the subject, $message, From: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]); Note: This fifth parameter was added in PHP 4.0.5. Since PHP 4.2.3 this parameter is disabled in safe_mode and the mail() function will expose a warning message and return FALSE if you're trying to use it. I followed this recent thread with some interest, because I'd like to be able to set the return-path header for a script that emails to a large list, which would in turn allow me to identify bounced emails. I'm using a shared host server, with PHP running as the master account user name, so the return-path for emails is something like Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I had accepted that I could not change the return-path value with PHP, but reading about this fifth parameter renewed my hope that I could. I tried adding a fifth parameter to mail() in order to do this, like so: // fifth mail() parameter to set envelope sender $cmd_line_param = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; mail($fullname$email, $subject, $message, $headers, $cmd_line_param); This didn't change the return-path header. Perhaps the problem is that I have no idea what the syntax of the command line parameter is (what the -f does). Can anyone advise? Is it possible to use this fifth parameter to set the return-path header, and if so, what's the syntax?

Perhaps the problem is that I have no idea what the syntax of the command line parameter is (what the -f does). I believe its '-f [EMAIL PROTECTED]', could be different depending on wich sendmail your using. I'm curious though what if your sendmail already has a -f on it: php.ini: sendmail_path=sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] thus a command sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can anyone advise? Is it possible to use this fifth parameter to set the return-path header, and if so, what's the syntax? Also, the 5th paramater is disabled in safe_mode, check that also if the above doesn't work.

the sendmail_path in php.ini is to do with where abouts the sendmail program is located, not where your sending mail from... if you define the extra headers in the mail, such as FROM and REPLY-TO, you shouldn't have any problems. basically, it's just like fake-mail, and your recipient should be none-the-wiser unless he really wants to sift through the headers. - Original Message - From: Brian S.

RE: [PHP] Mail From option in PHP.ini
It's not the recipient that is the problem. The extra headers work fine for that. It's the delivery and read notifications (recipient's mail server). The From header that is generated by sendmail itself is where I'm getting the problem. If I specify the -f option in the sendmail_path it fixes the problem. Just specifying a From header works for the recipients e-mail client, but it doesn't work for their server...I also tried Content-Disposition-To, Return-Path and a few others.

I've added the [EMAIL PROTECTED] to it, but I want to be able to dynmaically change [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or whatever else. Anyone have any ideas how I can do this? I'm pulling the e-mail I'd like to change it to from a MySQL database but can I rewrite the php.ini file on the fly or am I stuck. Any help is greatly appreciated. Why not just put it in the extra headers? $headers .= From: $email_address_from_your_database\r\n; Or you could possibly use ini_set() to change the php.ini setting. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php = Mark Weinstock [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** You can't demand something as a right unless you are willing to fight to death to defend everyone else's right to the same thing. *** __ Do you Yahoo!?
