Hi,
I am using the following PHP code to send an email
$to = 'me@hotmail.com';
$from = 'you@yahoo.com';
$subject = "Subject";
$mailbody = "Content"
$mailforms = mail($to, $subject, $mailbody, $from);
Problem is , when i receive an email it has the "From address" set to "Apache" my sever default instead of "you@yahoo.com".How can i resolve this problem?
Thanks in Advance.

you would like to code it like this:
mail($receiver,$subject,$m
where:
$sender would be smthg like you@yourdomain.tld
$mailclient - normally used to pass on that it was mailed from within a php script, but you can set anything here like "my cool mail tool"
$prior_1 would be 1, 2 or 3 with 1 being normal, 2 being medium and 3 being high
$prior_2 is only for microsoft - just have to write normal, medium or high there...
think that should do it
regards liquidblaze
The problem, that other people on the page tryied to explain is, that the $from parameter of the mail command is not the value of the 'From:' field in the mail header , but it modifies the mailheader lines according to the 'Value_name:' contained in the $from variable - referr to the RFC 2822 (rfc-editor.org) for more information for mail headers.

Try this:
$from = "you@yahoo.com";
mail ($fmail,$fsubject,$fbody,"
this fourth parameter identifiies the sending program as PHP and should hopefully negate the default from: address as set in your php.ini.
