Issue with headers in sending emails in PHP

Hello I'm using PHP built in php mail() and using this function s=to send emails :

function sendEmail($to,$subject,$message){
   $header = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
   'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" .
   'Content-type: text/html' . "\r\n" ;
   $retval = mail ($to,$subject,$message,$header);
   if( $retval == true ){
      return true;
   }
   else{
       return false;
   }
}

This function is sending emails but I do receive them not from the "From email" header I set : "[email protected]" but from my host server like this : [email protected]

Why this is not working as I want?

Thanks

You want to use a properly formatted "From" statement as follows:

 $header = 'From: <[email protected]>' . "\r\n" .

or

 $header = 'From: "no reply" <[email protected]>' . "\r\n" .

and another possible approach could be this: problem with php mail 'From' header
