Move your FROM line to under the DATA section and then have a first FROM line of:
fputs($connect, "MAIL FROM: \"$fromname\" <$fromemail>\r\n");
fputs($connect, "MAIL FROM: \"$fromname\" <$fromemail>\r\n");
$connect = fsockopen($hostname,$port);
fputs($connect, "EHLO $mydomain\r\n");
fputs($connect, "AUTH LOGIN\r\n");
fputs($connect, base64_encode($username)."\r\n");
fputs($connect, base64_encode($password)."\r\n");
fputs($connect, "MAIL FROM: \"$fromname\" <$fromemail>\r\n");
fputs($connect, "RCPT TO:$fullname <$email>\r\n");
fputs($connect, "DATA\r\n");
fputs($connect, "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n");
fputs($connect, "Content-Type: text/html\r\n");
fputs($connect, "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n");
fputs($connect, "To: $email\n");
fputs($connect, "From: "$fromname" <$fromemail>\r\nReply-To: $replyto\r\n");
fputs($connect, "Subject: $subject\n\n");
fputs($connect, "$message\r\n");
fputs($connect, ".\r\n");
fputs($connect, "QUIT\r\n");
Note also that your lines of the e-mail should all end in \r\n and so after the Subject line you should have \r\n\r\n to provide the blank line between the headers and the message body.

Have you considered using the free and open-source PHPMailer class? It might be easier. Just a thought...

And if you find that you're still wrestling with email anomalies and edge cases (as most of us do) you might want to consider a professionally hosted service. This one has worked well for me.

There are two parts to sending an e-mail: the SMTP protocol in which RCPT TO is required and the e-mail itself in which the To: header is sent. The e-mail itself is sent in the SMTP DATA command. Everything here constitutes what the the e-mail client sees:
... and also what the SMTP server essentially ignores. :)

Omg this is so much reading and cant understand it. Please correct the code, this shouldnt be much for you. I really need it. This is the mailer here:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// MESSAGE DETAILS
$fromemail = "";
$fromname = "";
$replyto = "";
$subject = "";
$fullname = "";
$email = "";
$message = "";
// SMTP INFO
$hostname = "";
$username = "";
$password = "";
$port = 25;
$mydomain = "";
// SMTP CONNECT
$connect = fsockopen($hostname,$port);
fputs($connect, "EHLO \'$mydomain\'\r\n");
fputs($connect, "AUTH LOGIN\r\n");
fputs($connect, base64_encode($username)."\r\n");
fputs($connect, base64_encode($password)."\r\n");
fputs($connect, "MAIL FROM: \'$fromname\' <$fromemail>\r\n");
fputs($connect, "RCPT TO: \'$fullname\' <$email>\r\n");
fputs($connect, "DATA\r\n");
fputs($connect, "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n");
fputs($connect, "Content-Type: text/html\r\n");
fputs($connect, "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n");
fputs($connect, "To: \'$email\'\r\n");
fputs($connect, "From: \'$fromname\' <$fromemail>\r\nReply-To: $replyto\r\n");
fputs($connect, "Subject: \'$subject\'\r\n\r\n");
fputs($connect, "\'$message\'\r\n");
fputs($connect, ".\r\n");
fputs($connect, "QUIT\r\n");
?>
I'm not in a position to test the script, alas. Key points, however: none of your variables are populated so the message is going no-where but I expect you removed the content for posting here, so feel free to ignore this point if that's true. :) You can't put e-mail addresses in headers surrounded by ' quotes (To: header under DATA section). You should put names for e-mail addresses in headers in " quotes (From header under Data section).
I've made the EHLO:, MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO: envelope information (SMTP protocol) into plain information - there's then no requirement for quoting at all for the EHLO and quoting is only required in the other two if you are supplying names (non-e-mail information).
If you are still getting errors with your script, then instead of running the script, open a telnet connection to your destination SMTP server (telnet <server> <port>) and type (literally) your information to the server and see the conversation progress. You should get a better idea of what is going wrong.
