How to set the 'FROM' aspect of an email message

[TerryJones]

Dear all,<br><br>I have figured out how to email out. I use:<br>&nbsp;&quot;mail($address, $header, $body)&quot;, as shown in PHP manual, at &quot;<A HREF="

http://www.php.net/manual/&quot"

TARGET="_new">

http://www.php.net/manual/&quot</A>;.<br><br>However,

a problem occurs with this approach, it states it as being from &quot;HTTP server&quot;. How do I change this so I can state who it is from (eg: FROM &quot;<A HREF="mailto:admin@company.net">admin@company.net</A>&quot in the from aspect of the message (not the Header or the body).<br><br>Thank you.<br><br>Yours Sincerely,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Terry F. P. Jones

A tricky aspect of using the mail() interface is to make sure the $address, $header, and $additions fields contain no extra newline characters. If they do, then a blank line will be inserted in the stream of headers in the email message, terminating the list early and rendering the last few headers ineffective (they're treated as part of the body of the message by recipients).
