    mail($adminemail, $subj, $msg, "FROM: $name\r\nReply-to: $from\r\nContent-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n");
    Code (markup):
    Do you see any errors in the code above?

    $name,$from are grabbed via $_POST.

    It doesn't seem to work correctly.
    I do recieve it in HTML format, but the FROM is altered.

    Not sure how you have manipulated the $_POST variables but $from needs to contain an email ...

    Should I echo and reply back? I think it's a \r\n problem more like $_POST problem.

    I have the function running with both "\r\n" as well as just "\n" but worth a try. Also, thinking about it, no need for any line breaks after "... charset=iso-8859-1"

    I also have the function working with

    on one of my sites, change version to suit ...

    Does it matter in headers which comes first? From/Reply-to ?

    Using the mail function with PHP is a little simpler than most people first think. Take a look over these PHP mail instructions. They will probably help you out.

    It's well written but still it doesn't point out using From: <> and Reply-To: in the same headers
