mail() method using PHP, how do I set the sender?

I'm using iPage for my website, and I'm using a simple mail() method to send test mails from my page. On iPage, I have email capabilities via [email protected]. But when I send an email out, it comes from the iPage server and is sent from [email protected], which is quite ugly looking!

Is there a way I can use the mail() method in php to send an email from my page that will use the shorter sender above? Thanks for any and all help!

Try this, You can add the From header to customise the sender address.

$from ='[email protected]';
$headers = 'From: ' . $from . "\r\n";
...
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

you need to add a header named From. this code will send with the mail address [email protected]:

$to      = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
