Formatting mail() headers "prettier"

Hello all,

Given the following code:

$FormSubmittedU serData = "John Doe <jd**@somedomai n.yuk>";

$to = 'm******@emaild omain.nuts';
$subject = 'This is my subject';
$message = 'This is my email message.';
$headers = "From: $Email\r\nReply-To: $Email\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

I only get the email address in the recipient inbox From: or Sender:
columns.

I am trying to provide the mail() function with the properly formatted
headers to get an outcome of "FirstName LastName" appearing in
recipient's Sender: or From: column in their inbox.

Any help from anyone who has tackled this one before would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks all,

Gene Kelley

I'm realizing I didn't frame my question well. What's ***TOTALLY COMPELLING*** about Ruby over Python? What makes you jump up in your chair and scream "Wow! Ruby has *that*? That is SO FRICKIN' COOL!!! ***MAN*** that would save me a buttload of work and make my life sooooo much easier!" As opposed to minor differences of this feature here, that feature there. Variations on style are of no interest to me. I'm coming at this from a...

I have a general question about how people generally tend to deal with users data that they enter. As an example users enter double quotes in a text field surrounding a specific piece of text they want to hi-lite and then it barfs during the oracle insert step because the string is not properly delimited. Another example is where the ampersand causes trouble when used on an xml page so provisions are made to insert it into the table...

Hi everyone, I've got a question about what makes the "img" element's width/height attributes valid HTML or XHTML. First of all, this is a rather theoretical question, but digging through the W3C HTML 4.01 standard and this group's archive didn't give me a satisfactory answer, so here we go: Is <img src="img.png" alt="" width="100px" height="100px"really valid?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs. The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols. I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
