I am using the following code along with HTML for header .
$email="example#example.com"; in the example and I want to implement variable in its place.
Code as posted below but its not showing error nor sending email.
I have tried the following links PHP email form not sending information , PHP Sending Emails with File Attachments - Email Not Sending At All .
I have tried
$headers .= "From: <".$email.">\n";
and
$headers .= $email;
This displays $email in the label from header in email.
But its working fine till this line:
$headers .= 'From: ' .$email. "\r\n";
This above line is not sending email if I remove this line it works but it does not add From email id to the header.
Please help me out it does not show any error and I have tried many variations to the above code but still stumped.
<?php
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$phone = $_REQUEST['contact'];
$subject = "feedback";
$question = $_REQUEST['question'];
$body = "<html>
<head>
</html>";
$mime_boundary = "<<<--==+X[".md5(time())."]\r\n\r\n";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0"."\r\n" ."Content-Type:text/html;"."\r\n";
$headers .= 'From:'.$email. "\r\n";
$to ='example#example.com';
mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);
echo "<script>alert(' message sent.');</script>";
?>
I had the same issue with one of the servers I were dealing with. Apparently in my server, not specifying "From" header sends email from the default mail address of your account (in case of a shared hosting). I chose this solution as an ad-hoc fix and specified my actual from address in "Reply-To" header. This way, I can still receive the replies sent to those email threads.
This method seems feasible for just functional email addresses (eg., support#example.com)only. If you are using this approach for a user's email address (eg., john#example.com), chances are that the recipient might think of your email as a spam.
if you use standard mail function, then try this(do not add "From" header to $headers):
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers,"-f ".$email);

I'm building a website that sends and email to a user when he registers.
My code (the gist of it):
<?php
$to = "helloworld#gmail.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! \nThis is a simple email message.";
$headers = "From: munged#gmail.com";
$headers .= "\r\nReply-To: munged#gmail.com";
$headers .= "\r\nX-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion();
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>
the problem is that when the mail is delivered, the from header remains munged#box123.bluehost.com, while reply-to gets changed to the specified value.
box123.bluehost.com is the hostname of the server on which the website is hosted.
So what am I doing wrong? What can I do to get the "From" address the same as the reply-to address?
Is it something I'm doing wrong, or is the web host playing foul?
Edit: I just noted that you are trying to use a gmail address as the from value. This is not going to work, and the ISP is right in overwriting it. If you want to redirect the replies to your outgoing messages, use reply-to.
A workaround for valid addresses that works with many ISPs:
try adding a fifth parameter to your mail() command:
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers,"-f your#email.here");
It turns out the original poster's server (blueHost) has a FAQ concerning this very question.
Article 206.
This is because our servers require you (or your script) to use a properly formatted, valid From: field in the email's header. If the From: field is not formatted correctly, empty or the email address does not exist in the cPanel, the From: address will be changed to username#box###.bluehost.com.
You must change the script you are using to correctly use a valid From: header.
Examples of headers that should work would be:
From: user#domain.com
From: "user" <user#domain.com>
Examples of headers that will NOT work:
From: "user#domain.com"
From: user # domain.com
From: user#domain.com <user#domain.com>
Our servers will not accept the name for the email address and the email address to be the same. It will not accept a double declaration of the email address.
For scripts such as Joomla and Wordpress, you will need to follow their documentation for formatting the from fields properly. Wordpress will require the Mail From plugin.
Note: The email address you use must be a valid created account in the
cPanel.
I had the same Issue, I checked the php.net site. And found the right format.
This is my updated code.
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: ' . $fromName . ' <' . $fromEmail .'>' . " \r\n" .
'Reply-To: '. $fromEmail . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
The \r\n should be in double quotes(") itself, the single quotes(') will not work.
In order to prevent phishing, some mail servers prevent the From from being rewritten.
I realize this is an old thread, but i had the same problem since i moved to bluehost yesterday. It may not have been the selected answer but i support the bluehost article 206 reply.
I created a valid email in control panel and used it as my From address and it worked.
I solved this by adding email accounts in Cpanel and also adding that same email to the header from field like this
$header = 'From: XXXXXXXX <test#test.org>' . "\r\n";
The web host is not really playing foul. It's not strictly according to the rules - but compared with some some of the amazing inventions intended to prevent spam, its not a particularly bad one.
If you really do want to send mail from '#gmail.com' why not just use the gmail SMTP service? If you can't reconfigure the server where PHP is running, then there are lots of email wrapper tools out there which allow you to specify a custom SMTP relay phpmailer springs to mind.
C.
headers were not working for me on my shared hosting, reason was i was using my hotmail email address in header.
i created a email on my cpanel and i set that same email in the header yeah it worked like a charm!
$header = 'From: ShopFive <site#mysite.org>' . "\r\n";
Any idea why the [Enter email] field on this form will only reach me#me.com if the email entered matches me#me.com?
If I put in any other email address than the one listed in $to=, the email doesn't send.
$fieldname = 'images';
if ($_POST){
// we'll begin by assigning the To address and message subject
$to="me#me.com";
$subject="Registration";
$from = "<".stripslashes($_POST['email']).">";
// generate a random string to be used as the boundary marker
$mime_boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_x".md5(mt_rand())."x";
// now we'll build the message headers
$headers = "From: $from\r\n" .
"MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\r\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"\n";
Here's a Pastebin.
You are setting the from header to be the address posted in the form, and the to header to be your email address. Should be reversed if you are trying to send an email to them.
$to="me#me.com";
$subject="Registration";
$from = "<".stripslashes($_POST['email']).">";
If indeed you want the email to appear to come from the address listed in the form, you can't in general do that. You can't send email on behalf of another use (your SMTP server is likely to reject it these days). This is to prevent pfishing attacks (FROM: Someone#ThatYouKnow.com, SUBJECT: What is that password again?).
Send it from an email address that you control. Include the email address from the form as part of the body of the email.
I know this seems like it is a duplicate but please read first:
I have the following php code:
<?php
$to = 'myemail#yahoo.com';
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$headers = "From: ".$email." \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$email."\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
I think it's the standard email sending script. However, I face an interesting bug. My website is florin-pop.com and the emails are only sending when in the email input field I put something like this: blahblah#florin-pop.com or mama#florin-pop.com or anything before #florin-pop.com.
If I try to put a something different like test#yahoo.com or even a real yahoo email address I don't get the email. Why? It's something wrong with my code? It may be from the hosting company? ( I use hostgator ).
EDIT:
If I change the Reply-To to the domains email address then it is working, but it is still not the perfect way to do it. If you press the reply button and forget about this trick, you will email yourself.
Code:
<?php
$to = 'myemail#yahoo.com';
$my_domain_email = 'myemail#mydomain.com';
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$headers = "From: ".$email." \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$my_domain_email."\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
In this case, delivery failure may be caused by Yahoo's adoption of the Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) policy.
This means all DMARC compliant mail receivers (including Yahoo,
Hotmail, and Gmail) are now bouncing emails sent as "#yahoo.com"
addresses that aren't sent through Yahoo servers. [Yahoo]
Twitter, Facebook, Linked In, Paypal, AOL, Comcast and others have also adopted this policy. [Venture Beat]
A solution: Change the "From" header to an address at the server from which you are sending the email. This (correctly) indicates that the mail was sent from your server, and not from Yahoo. You can still use a user-submitted address in the "Reply-To" header so that the recipient can reply to the sender.
As a best practice, you should ... be using a domain you control in ... the "From:" header... [For example,] the site visitor's name is shown in the descriptive part of the "From:" header, and the "Reply-To:" header is set to the website visitor's address, but the actual address used in the "From:" header clearly indicates that your website is the origin of the message. [DMARC]
I have a form on my website which will send me an email using PHP. It will be sent to an email address from my hosting service, which I never check, so I set it up to forward emails sent to that address to my iCloud email address. This works great, since it preserves the "From" address so when I reply, it is sent to the person who filled out the form. The problem is, when I reply to the email sent from the form, the person who gets that reply will see it came from my iCloud account, and replies to that email will go directly to my iCloud account rather than to my hosting service email.
My question is, is there a way to specify in my PHP code what email should appear in the "From" field upon replying to the email (but of course, this is different from the "From" address in the first email sent to me (the person filling out the form)?
Essentially, I want it to work like this:
-Upon form submission, an email is sent to example#myhostingservice.com with the "From" address set to the email inputted in the form
-example#myhostingservice.com forwards the email to my iCloud account (but preserves the email address of person who filled out form in the "From" address)
-I reply to that email using my iCloud account, and the receiver sees it came from example#myhostingservice.com (not iCloud), and when they reply it goes to example#myhostingservice.com
Here is a snippet of my code to see what I'm working with:
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email_address = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
if( empty($errors))
{
$to = $myemail;
$email_subject = "$subject";
$email_body = "Name: $name \n \n $message";
$headers = "From: $email_address";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
}
Thanks!
From docs (http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php):
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
Although I must warn you, doing such may mark your email as spam since the email address it is being sent from does not match the From header.
I don't think this is possible using PHP - the email client you use on your iCloud account sets the new "Reply-To". However, try to add the hosting email account to your iCloud email client -(Using POP3 or IMAP)- then you will be able to "Send as" your hosting account and you won't need to forward everything to iCloud.
I have set automatically to send email to users from my website. but this email will place to spam of users with gmail accounts.However it is working fine with yahoo or hotmail accounts.
How should I solve this?
$to = "$Email";
$subject = "Greeting";
$message = 'message here';
$from = "sender#example.com";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: sender#example.com" . "\r\n" .
"Reply-To: sender#example.com" . "\r\n";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
Since your headers appear to be correct, it's probably keying on something within the message. One of the things that SpamAssassin (no idea if this is what Gmail uses) keys on is a very short message like the above containing a hyperlink or graphic, so you may benefit by actually making your message a little longer. One of the ways to find out is to send it to your own gmail account and when it appears in your spam folder, examine the headers there for any added spam information. It may contain clues as to what spam engine Gmail is using or what rules your message is breaking.

Hope this helps!
it should be of smtp configuration email and site information email id should be diffrent.
