I am currently sending text email in PHP and doing something like this:

$from = "from: Hike Attendance Update@comehike.com";
$to_email_address = 'some email';
$subject = 'Some subject';
$contents = 'Blah';

mail($to_email_address, $subject, $contents, $from);

When I send it, it appears as sent from Hike.Attendance.Update which doesn’t look very good. How can I make it appear with spaces instead of dots?

Thanks,
Alex

    Try:

    $from = "from: \"Hike Attendance\" <Update@comehike.com>";
    

    I think that’s specified in some RFC for email, namely RFC 5322.
