PHP mail question I just wrote my first mail script in php. It is working well, but I cannot control
the senders email address or name. I would like to at least choose senders name.
Here is the code I am using
I have tried using $from = "emailaddress@email.com"
and also From "emailaddress@email.com" in the mail() tag
No matter what I put I get this...
youngloks@linhostssl08.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net
Can someone help me. Also, this script works on my GoDaddy server but not on my server
with cPanel.
Thanks in advance.

I figured it out on my own. Here is the answer for anyone else who might have the same problem.
Now it works exactly as I needed it to
<?php $email=$_POST['email']; $subject = "New Mailing List Signup"; $body = "test email script"; $header='From: Name<name@website.com>'; mail($email,$subject,$body,$header) ?>
Now it works exactly as I needed it to
