[cerkoxxl]

Hi. I use the code, at the bottom, for send easy message form website for years and have not had any problems so far. Now, the fiend of my wanted to insert this code to his website on different server nad the variable $from do not run properly. When I inset this code to any other website on any other different servers, everithing is OK (mail name, value from, message). But on his server the value of variable $form is not the the value form Imput "Email", but allways "xz000500@useron4.hostmaster.sk". Am I do something wrong? Or how can I solve this problem? Thanks.

Code: Select all

<?php
/* ****************************UTF-8************************************** */
function autoUTF($s)
{
    if (preg_match('#[\x80-\x{1FF}\x{2000}-\x{3FFF}]#u', $s)) // detect UTF-8
    {
        return $s;
    }
    elseif (preg_match('#[\x7F-\x9F\xBC]#', $s)) // detect WINDOWS-1250
    {
        return iconv('WINDOWS-1250', 'UTF-8', $s);
    }
    else // assume ISO-8859-2
    {
        return iconv('ISO-8859-2', 'UTF-8', $s);
    }
}

function cs_mail($to, $predmet, $zprava, $head = "")
{
    $predmet = "=?utf-8?B?".base64_encode(autoUTF($predmet))."?=";
    $head .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
    $head .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"utf-8\"\n";
    $head .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
    $zprava = base64_encode(autoUTF($zprava));
    return mail($to, $predmet, $zprava, $head);
}
/* ********************************************************************** **  */

$from = "From: $email\r\n";

cs_mail("mymail@mymail.sk","Správa zo stránky  www.transportexpert.sk","Táto správa bola vygenerovaná z online systému:\n
---------------------- Správa ------------------------\n
Meno: " . $_POST['meno'] . "\n
Telefón: " . $_POST['cislo'] . " \n
Mail: " . $_POST['email'] . " \n
Text správy: " . $_POST['sprava'] . " \n
------------------------------------------------------ \n
",$from);

include("sent.html");

?>

It sounds like the 'email from' variable is set at the server level. That can be changed in php.ini, I believe the key to be changed is sendmail_from.

Thanks for your point.
I checked the php setting on both servers and found differencies in sentmail settings. So I ask webhosting provider to help me solve this problem.
It was good point, thanks.

SOLVED:
the problem was PHP version 5.3 which do not alow global variables so I had to define variable $email = $_POST['email']; and then I can call this variable.
