Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] php mail() ignores "From" header

[Steven L. <st...@tu...>]

Don,

 I have used that function before and got it to work just fine.  The only
difference I see in my code is that I put the 'From' as the very first
thing in the header.  Maybe try that, but it would be silly if that was
the issue.
