Send Mail in YII

I am using YiiMail extension to send mails.

I have used the default contact.php file as my view.

mycontroller--

public function SendMail()
{
    //$subject = $_POST["subject"]; gives error on adding this line 
    mail('to-mailid',"some Subject","some Message",'$headers');
}

1) When I run this, mail is been sent to the id. It comes under spam folder with my system name as the sender. Where should I add the from address from which the mail should be sent?

2) A mail is received with subject and message that is written in the controller. I'm not getting any subject/message that I give in the field values. For this I have tried using the following in my SendMail() function

$subject = $_POST["subject"];

It then gives an undefined variable:$subject.

not

mail('to-mailid',"some Subject","some Message",'$headers');

use

$headers="From: [email protected]\r\nReply-To: [email protected]";
mail('[email protected]', "some Subject", "some Message",$headers);

You will have to set your headers correctly. I used an example.

To solve the $_POST['subject'] issue, look again at your form code. If it is a Yii form, the usage is most probably something like, where the 'ContactForm will depend on your form settings.

$subject = $_POST['ContactForm]["subject"];
