I am trying to send automated emails with a clean "From" address. When it sends the email its using the name I want with @my-website.com attached right after, how do I get rid of it?
Example
$address = "[email protected]"; $subject = "Confirmation"; $msg = "Registered"; $headers = "From: MyWebsite \r\n"; mail($address, $subject, $msg, $headers); The result I get in my inbox when I test it is, [email protected] instead of just MyWebsite
I think
$headers = "From: MyWebsite <[email protected]> \r\n"; would do
If not, try reading http://www.sitepoint.com/advanced-email-php/
It's working correctly. You need the complete domain with mail() it's required for the mail() function to parse and legally under the CAN-SPAM act.
Try this:
$headers = "From: MyWebsite <[email protected]> \r\n"; This will show the name "MyWebsite" in most email clients, and also includes your email address. (Valid email should have a real From: email address.)
You can't specify MyWebsite as sender because it's not a valid email address. You could try the following code:
$headers = "From: MyWebsite <[email protected]> \r\n";
