Question about simple PHP form.

[theNEOone]

I've been working with another member of this board who has graciously volunteered his time to add a Player Registration form to my website.

Everything works beautifully except that the confirmation e-mail that is sent to the registrant is from "Nobody [nobody@venus.addaction.net]" I would like this email to be from "Dodgeball Miami [dodgeballmiami@gordiflan.com]"

Also, does anyone know how to format this confirmation email so that it is in html? I want email links in the email to be clickable.

Thank you!!

In the string where you define all the headers, you have to set both:
Return-Path: Dodgeball Miami <dodgeballmiami@gordiflan.com>
and
From: Dodgeball Miami <dodgeballmiami@gordiflan.com>

To make it HTML, you also put into the header string:
Content-type: text/html;

If this is a bit much for right now, post the the script that sends the confirmation email and I can tell you where to put the stuff...

Nice, thanks so much! I'll pass on the information and give it a shot. If all else fails, I'll post the script.

You guys are awesome.

Just something to be aware of, with any form submittals that do emailing, you should account for Form Injection. Essientialy a spammer could effectively use your form (thus your server) to send out spam by only adding just a little bit of code. There's a whole slew of information on php.net
