[PHP] Mail Username

2003-06-10 Thread Josh Thomas
I know that if you use sendmail to perform your mailings in php that the
sender shows up as the user and group for Apache. Now is there a way to make
the mail command display a different user in the from field? I know that I
could change the user/group for Apache to fix it, but is there a setting in
the PHP.conf file to change this. Will I be better off using pop and smtp
and just point it to my local box?

Thanks

You can add extra info into the appropriate fields like so.

mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], the subject, $message,
 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]);


However, your local sendmail might restrict this behavoir of changing the
sender identity.  Mine simply complaines about it in the mail logs, but
does change the from information like I wish.

Look here for more details:
