I have this code I'm using

I'm not a php coder, I took this code from a website. I was wondering how I can make it automatically make the website viewers e-mail automatically input when I press reply. I notice when I press reply in my yahoo e-mail this is what I get

"CGI-Mailer" <cgi-mailer@perfora.net>

so I have to manually copy the person's e-mail.


<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "mmcx200909@yahoo.com";
$subject = "MAJOR FORM";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

foreach($_POST['check'] as $value) {
$check_msg .= "Checked: $value\n";
}

$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";

echo "Your e-mail has been successful sent! You may close out of your browser.";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

echo "blarg!";

}
?>

the mail function accepts another field called "header" which allows you to specify the header for the email being sent. You can use this to set who the email is from. Here's the code

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "mmcx200909@yahoo.com";
$subject = "MAJOR FORM";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

foreach($_POST['check'] as $value) {
$check_msg .= "Checked: $value\n";
}

$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";

$header = "FROM: $email_field";

echo "Your e-mail has been successful sent! You may close out of your browser.";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $header);

} else {

echo "blarg!";

}
?>

Thank you very much. It worked.

Few Other Tricks you can add to headesr

Headers are separated by a "\r\n"
ie:"From: myplace@here.com\r\nReply-To: myplace2@here.com"



From: myplace@here.com
Reply-To: myplace2@here.com
Return-Path: myplace@here.com
CC: sombodyelse@noplace.com
BBC: hidden@special.com
X-Priority: 1 (Highest)
X-MSMail-Priority: High

There are many many more... Enjoy
