Re: [PHP] mail function and headers
hiChris, i've read several forums where this mail() function from PHP initial package is not so great. Therefore a lot of people use PHPMailer which is more convenient for that purpose...especially more flexible. thanks a lot for your help.

There's nothing fancy in any of them, and if you don't tell them to send through an smtp server, they use the normal mail() command (in most cases I think anyway). -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi,
i'm playing a little bit with the mail function from PHP 5.2.4 and email
headers.
here is a snippet of my code:
$headers = 'From: '.$email. .$fromname.
\r\n.'Reply-To:'.$email.\r\n.'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
You have the From: header parameters reversed. Try this:
?
$headers = From: .$fromname. .$email.\r\n;
$headers .= Reply-To: .$email.\r\n;
$headers .= X-Mailer: PHP/.phpversion().\r\n;
/*
*/

Re: [PHP] mail function and headers
ok i will try... what about UTF-8 to ensure unicode ? my website and especially the form which will send this email, will be filled in by several nationalities... spanish, english, french, slovak, german,,... so isn't it easier to set up utf-8 ?
