mail function in php not sending headers - php

Question

I brought a shared sever, and got a little storage space. When i run my web site, the mail function works perfectly. Mail has been sent with subject and message to all receivers. But the mail which is sent mentioned "From : ". Headers what i included are not working.
I want to send with my headers Eg:Form: mymail#mysite.com . How can i do it?
<?php
$output="";
if(isset($_POST['submit']) && !empty($_POST['message']))
{
$sub=$_POST['subject'];
$msg=$_POST['message'];
$sql = "select email from login where status='client'";
$query = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
$to=array();
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query))
{
$to[] = $row['email'];
$parts = implode(',',$to);
$headers = 'From: mymail#mysiet.com;';
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$subject = $sub;
$content = $msg;
}
if(mail($parts,$subject,$content,$headers))
{
$output="mail sent";
}
else
{
$output="Error in connection, Mail could not be sent. Please try again";
}
}
?>

Answer 1

You need to manually specify the headers, this is the function I use and it delivers to pretty much every provider beautifully. The headers you want are From: and Reply-To: and I also advise the X-Mailer follows what is seen here, I found it years ago via SO as well.
<?php
$to = "user#anotherdomain.com";
$headers = 'From: My Name <email#domain.com.au>' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: My Name <email2#domain.com.au>' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n" .
'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';
$subject = "My subject line here";
$message = 'Message HTML and Content Here.';
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
// Success Here
}else{
// Failed Here
}
?>
I am not 100% certain it will work for you as I am on a dedicated machine, having said that - I do use it on multiple domains and have never messed with my Apache or php configuration in relation to mail settings.

You can try below code, just ripped from php.net
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Mary <mary#example.com>, Kelly <kelly#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: birthdayarchive#example.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: birthdaycheck#example.com' . "\r\n";
Off topic but good to use PHPMailer.
