PHP Mail() Help

[ralphNOSPAM]

I'm trying to send a Txt Msg to my Verizon cell phone using PHP
Mail(). I use a mail gateway that verizon has provided. It works OK -
but - the From string I see on my cell phone when I get the txt msg
always shows 'From: po********@notice.com' instead of what I want:
'From: we*******@notice.com.' Here is my code below. Does anyone know
why the From string is not being detected? I don't know if this is a
PHP issue, a notice.com domain settings issue or a Verizon issue.

$to = "88********@vtext.com";
$subject = 'Report ';
$message = $php_message;
$headers = 'From: we*******@notice.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: no*****@notice.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

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

If you changed the $to to be your email address, what do the full
headers look like?

You can try to add the fifth parameter in the form

$fifth = '-f we*******@notice.com';
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $fifth);

Also, instead of using "\r\n" for the line termination, just use "\n".
I know windows platforms like "\r\n", while UNIX/Linux like "\n".

Good suggestions Ken.

When I added the $fifth argument I got a Safe Mode warning and it
didn't go out.

I removed the \r's and while I'll keep them removed as I agree with
you, it made no difference.

What I've discovered is that the po********@notice.com string is the
Envelope Sender string - so Verizon is grabbing that instead of the
From or Reply To string. I don't know if I can control or alter that
Envelope Sender string or not???

That's what the fifth argument does. In short, don't use safe mode.
You can try using the phpmailer class, found at
<http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/>, but I'm not sure if that will
help.
