Question

I am using the mail function

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";  
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";  
$headers .= 'From: <>' . "\r\n";  
$headers .= 'Cc: ' . "\r\n";  
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers ); 

I want to pass the email-value for “From:” as a variable. Can this be done? And how can I pass other values like mobile number on to the mail?

Answer 1

Pass the email address($fromAddress) as a header

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: <'.$fromAddress.'>' . "\r\n".
             'Reply-To:'.$fromAddress. "\r\n" .
$headers .= 'Cc: ' . "\r\n";
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
