E-mail FROM getting messed up

    My website is set up to e-mail me - as the Admin - when there is an error on a webpage.

    In my Gmail, I am getting this in the FROM column...

    ...which is obviously syntactically messed up?!


    Here is the code I have in my script which sends the e-mail...

    
$headers  = "From: admin@MySite.com <admin@MySite.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";

mail('Debbie@gmail.com', 'Re: Website #: ' . rand(5, 1000), $body, $headers);
    PHP:

    The only thing I can think of is that my Single Quotes are messing something up?!

    (BTW, I am getting the e-mail, and it is readable, but I just want the format of the FROM to be correct...)

    Thanks,


    Debbie

    Replace this 
    $headers  = "From: admin@MySite.com <admin@MySite.com>\r\n";
    PHP:
    With this:
    $headers  = "From: Admin <admin@MySite.com>\r\n";
    PHP:
    Or this:
    $headers  = "From: admin@MySite.com\r\n";
    PHP:
    I assume the From headers should have the same format as the recipient

    I'll keep an eye on things when I have errors and see if that change helped.

    Thanks!
