Mail from 'Nobody' in PHP3

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to use the Mail function in PHP3 and set the from / reply to field to something other than nothing like I keep getting?

Here's my line of code:
mail($recipient, $subject, $body, "From: me@emailnReply-To: me@emailnX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

But what happens is a get a reply to 'Noboby' and the email I want in the reply field appears in the body.

The following works for me:

$mailto = "Username1<useremail1@domain.com>";
$subject = "Subject Line for Mail Message";
$body = "Body Line 1n";
$body .= "Body Line 2n";
$body .= "Body Line 3n";
$body .= "Body Line 4n";
$header = "From: Username2<useremail2@domain.com>n";

mail($mailto, $subject, $body, $header);

I would assume you can add the following for the reply-to portion:

$header. = "Reply-To: Username3<useremail3@domain.com>n";

Hope this helps,

Maven

Cheers for the help.
It didn't work though - I think it's just because computers hate me. Oh well.

From your original post you will need to add <> around the actual e-mail address you want to use. I would assume the msg you are receiving with the nobody@domain address looks similar to:

me@email<nobody@domain.com>

try:

"From: me@email<me@email>n"
"Reply-To: me@email<me@email>n"

Hi there,

i've encountered that generally the from-mail option doesnt work, when you dont include an extension.
so instead of "me@email" try "me@email.com" and see if that works.
good luck!

forgot to type in the message,
well i agree with porcupine

mail("someone@somehost.com", "the subject", "nnntest","From:webmaster <webmaster@$SERVER_NAME>nReply-To:webmaster <webmaster@$SERVER_NAME>nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

For some reason this mail works fine, but doesn't arrive?

server error:
Email adres sender doesn't exists?
... while talking to mail.somehost.com.:
>>> MAIL From:<nobody@localhost.localdomain> SIZE=46
<<< 501 <nobody@localhost>... Sender domain must exist
501 someone@somehost.com... Data format error


Does somebody has a clue?

Thanks for all the help. I think it was just a bug in my version of PHP! I ended up bouncing it out to an NT box and using ASP-Mail to send it. Not the nicest way to do it but it works now.
