PHP mail () how to set sender mail

Question

This is my code:

$to = ' [e-mail] '; $subject = 'test'; $body = 'test'; $header = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $header .= "To: <$to>" . "\r\n"; $header .= 'From: [e-mail] \r\n'; mail($to, $subject, $body, $header); 

The code works, it sends an email. But the sender is not the one I determined. The sender seems to be a web server. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try setting the sender of the envelope, and also set the sender in the message headers like this:

 $to = " [e-mail] "; $from = " [e-mail] "; $subject = "subject"; $message = "this is the message body"; $headers = "From: $from"; $ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, "-f " . $from);
