Php mail header.

I have a problem when sending mail with php form.

If the code it looks like this it works perfect:

$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <admin@eva.com> ' . "\r\n";

but the problem is the email is not a variable ...

if i try to put :


$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder $email ' . "\r\n";
where $email=$_POST['email']; in the mail it appears
FROM: " <Birthday@yahoo.com>
i have no ideea from where appears @yahoo.com
i also tryed with $email=$_GET['email'] and $email=$_REQUEST['email']


if i put:
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <$frome> ' . "\r\n";
in email it appers:
FROM:Birthday Reminder <$frome@srv31.host.com>

:|

i just only want to appear
From: Birthday Reminder $ email

any ideea?

 

Looks like you just need to use double quotes. ie:

$headers .= "From: Birthday Reminder $email " . "\r\n";

Code (markup):

instead of:

$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder $email ' . "\r\n";

Code (markup):

Or just use the concat operator

$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder ' . $email .  ' . "\r\n";

Code (markup):

Of course that depends of how the email looks when coming from the form. You might have to add the <>:

$headers .= "From: Birthday Reminder <$email> " . "\r\n";

Thank you.
This one is perfect.

$headers .= "From: Birthday Reminder <$email> " . "\r\n";

one more Q.
don't want to start another topic.
after the mail is send i have the echo "Mail send $to";
but if i refresh the page the mail is send again... every time i refresh..
i also have set
if (isset($_POST['Send'])) {

// Mail it
mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers);

echo "Mail send to $to ";
}
