hi
i m sending mail using php mail().
while adding headers i m adding the email id in the header dynamically., -
<?
-
//static value is passed
-
$header ="From: ".$fname." <example@example.com>\r\n";
-
-
-
//output when header is printed i get
-
From: vijay <example@example.com>
-
-
-
//but when dynamically passed
-
$header ="From: ".$fname." <".$agentmailid.">\r\n";
-
-
//output when header is printed i get
-
From: vijay
-
-
-
-

why does the mail id not getting displayed when passed through an variable..

hey
1. you might have have a problem with "$agentmailid" variable. coz your header is giving me From: Name[example_from id]
2. could try with the code below -
-
those are the example of normal php mail() function variables..
-
$to = "example_to@xxx.co.nz";
-
$subject = "Test mail";
-
$message = "Hello ! This is a simple email message frm Vijay.";
-
$from_mail = "example_from@xxx.co.nz";
-
-
//or could use
-
$from_mail = $agentmailid;
-
$from = $fname."<$from_mail>\r\n";
-
$header = "From: $from";
-
mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
-
-
:)

As usually, I recommend using PHPMailer to send emails.
It takes care of all this kind of stuff for you.

I do like the way SwitfMailer returns $this, allowing you to stack method calls.
Not sure PHPMailer does that to.

Not sure PHPMailer does that to. | Gotta love method chaining :D
SwiftMailer seems much more professional, tbh. Pretty complex too; very well written.
