Re: [PHP] Re: mail question (mime)
...and talking about mail, is there a class to parse an incoming mail? Let me explain: I'm using the great POP3 pear class to receive mail, but I'm having trouble separating the different parts in an multipart/alternative type of msg. Is there a class to receive the result from POP3 class and convert it into an array of all the specific parts of an mail? Thanks!

W cool. I went there, but I thought this class only worked for sending mails. Great! Justin Patrin wrote: Well, you could look for yourself. ;-) Yes, there is.

Re: [PHP] Re: Mail() question
You can also use ini_set or .htaccess to increase the max execution time for the PHP script. I have some reports that used to take 5 or 6 minutes to run and this worked well, note though that IE has a timeout where it will close the connection if the page has not finished loading within n seconds, you can increase it in the registry. Rather than waiting for mail() to complete for each e-mail you want to send an often recommended approach is writing the e-mail directly into the mail queue so your mail client picks it up when it runs. Take a look at the PEAR Mail class, it is easy to use and supports multiple backends (http://pear.php.net).

[PHP] Re: mail() question!
you can use the (optional) headers argument to mail() and add the From header: mail ($to, $subject, $body, From: $from); Beauford.2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message 000f01c294e0$6ce1fcd0$6401a8c0@p1">news:000f01c294e0$6ce1fcd0$6401a8c0@p1... Hi, I have a form where a user enters an email address. The contents of the form are then sent to myself, which works fine. The problem is that the from field says it is from nobody - how can I get it to say it is from the email address the user inputted - or is this possible?
