Calling the $site_name variable from a module in Drupal 7

I'm creating a custom module that has uses the form API and sends an email on submission- however, I want to make the 'from' email name to be the site name (eg, <My Drupal Site> [email protected]). In phptemplate you can use $site_name, but that doesn't work from a module it seems. I've tried calling &$variables or &$variable or &$vars in the function argument and DSMed it but still nothing. Any ideas?

Many thanks! Matt

Done...I dug through the set and get code and none of it ever is sanitized...sanitizing serialized objects would probably break stuff so it makes sense

I'd suggest the approach used in core:

variable_get('site_name', 'Drupal');

It's good practice to include the default value in variable_get().

You can use:

variable_get('site_name');

anywhere in a module or template file :)
