bootstrap mail form $from<$email> - php

Question

I refer to this page.
https://bootstrapious.com/p/how-to-build-a-working-bootstrap-contact-form
i want mailheader "name"
but this php code is
<?php
// configure
$from = 'Demo contact form <demo#domain.com>';
$sendTo = 'Demo contact form <demo#domain.com>';
$subject = 'New message from contact form';
$fields = array('name' => 'Name', 'surname' => 'Surname', 'phone' => 'Phone', 'email' => 'Email', 'message' => 'Message'); // array variable name => Text to appear in the email
$okMessage = 'Contact form successfully submitted. Thank you, I will get back to you soon!';
$errorMessage = 'There was an error while submitting the form. Please try again later';
// let's do the sending
try
{
$emailText = "You have new message from contact form\n=============================\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
if (isset($fields[$key])) {
$emailText .= "$fields[$key]: $value\n";
}
}
$headers = array('Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8";',
'From: ' . $from,
'Reply-To: ' . $from,
'Return-Path: ' . $from,
);
mail($sendTo, $subject, $emailText, implode("\n", $headers));
$responseArray = array('type' => 'success', 'message' => $okMessage);
}
catch (\Exception $e)
{
$responseArray = array('type' => 'danger', 'message' => $errorMessage);
}
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest') {
$encoded = json_encode($responseArray);
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo $encoded;
}
else {
echo $responseArray['message'];
}
so i tried
$sendTo = 'Demo contact form '; => my mail.
$from = 'Demo contact form '; => $name <'$email'>
but the result is "nobody"
So i tried again.
$headers = array('Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8";',
'From: ' . $from,
'Reply-To: ' . $from,
'Return-Path: ' . $from,
);
=>
$headers = array('Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8";',
'From: ' . $from<$email>,
'Reply-To: ' . $from,
'Return-Path: ' . $from,
);
But it failed...
what should i do?
i tried
From: $FromName and
$headers = "From: $from_user \r\n". and
$headers .= 'From: "'. $from . '" <' . $Email . '>' . "\r\n"; etc...

Answer 1

This worked for me
$name = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']));
$email_address = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']));
$from = "$name<$email_address>";
