if(@mail($to, $from, $subject, $message))
There is no 'from' field. This must be put in the headers.

If I remove the $from everything works but with my IP's 'From: '
Where should the $from variable go in the mail() function?

Re: [PHP] Getting the From: admin@site.com to work
Thanks John, I had the maual in front of me, but I didn't understand that you had to put the 'From:' stuff in a 'header'. That's why it wasn't working. I presumed (wrongly again) that 'headers' were optional, and I got sidetracked by the success of the To: field. Thanks for clearing that up.

Re: [PHP] Getting the From: admin@site.com to work
You need to build your header and include that in your mail() call:
$lc_headers = From: $lc_from_name $lc_from_email\n;
$lc_headers .= X-Sender: $lc_sender\n;
$lc_headers .= X-Mailer: PHP\n; // mailer
$lc_headers .= Return-Path: $lc_return\n; // Return path for errors
$lc_headers .= Mime-Version: 1.0\n;
mail($lc_recipient, $lc_subject, $lc_message, $lc_headers);
