PHPRunner General questions

OK,
I searched the forums but cant find an answer to this.
I set up application no probs. Want to give users the ability to retrieve forgotten login details by email.

Everything works fine - the email is sent correctly to the correct address, however the From details are not as I would like.

The From name and email address are as follows:
Email from: Nobody [nobody@myhostserver.co.uk]
I would like this to read
Email from: Mydomain [noreply@mydomain.com]
Anyone any ideas how I can do this?
Cheers
Alan

Hi, Alan,

on June 2, Alexey posted this (worked fine for me... and will maybe be included as standard in the update which will hopefully be coming real soon ...) in reply to osluk's post: "Mail reply address overwritten by system address"
try to modify all calls to mail() function in your files and add fourth parameter with From and Reply-To headers.

I.e. replace this line:
QUOTE

mail($strEmail,"...",$message);
with this one:

QUOTE

mail($strEmail,"...",$message,"From: my@address.com\nReply-To: my@address.com\n");
Best Regards,

since the following code (from the register.php - haven't had time to change it in remind.php - but mail() works the same all over...) works perfectly for me:

// send email to user

$message="Sie haben sich hiermit erfolgreich bei www.xxx.de registriert, von der IP-Adresse .$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"].\r\n";

$ind=1;
$label = mlang_message("EMAIL");

$message.=$label.": ".$userinfo[$ind++]."\r\n";
$label = mlang_message("USERNAME");

$message.=$label.": ".$userinfo[$ind++]."\r\n";
$label = mlang_message("PASSWORD");

$message.=$label.": ".$userinfo[$ind++]."\r\n";
mail($strEmail,"Ihre Registrierung bei xxx",$message,"From: info@xxx.de\nReply-To: info@xxx.de\n");

Sorry, quotation marks missing (in the first line of this "old" code...) - it should read:

// send email to user

$message="Sie haben sich hiermit erfolgreich bei www.xxx.de registriert, von der IP-Adresse ".$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]."\r\n";


Regards,

Wilfried
