Sure, you can send it as a header after the body...Like so:
$mailheaders = "From: $mailfrom\n";
mail($mailto, $mailsubject, $mailbody, $mailheaders);
Where you establish $mailfrom as who its from

Thanks for your reply Richard, but what I meant is
how to change the sender's address in the header, not in the message itself.
As I don't host my own server I cannot change the php.ini file to replace
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not to mention,
You may not control the server but I'm assuming you control your
"homespace" if you drop a php.ini file into there it will over ride the
main ini (but it will only over ride for that branch)

Hi,
As Rechard pointed out that mail() function accepts "additional_headers" as its 4th
parameter.
I usually add the following headers in that parameter:
From: <users-address> \r\n
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 \r\n
Date: <date-you-must-build> \r\n
optionally, you might also add
Errors-to: <usually-admin-of-this-script>
A couple of notes :
1) Date: field
mail() on NT (sendmail.c) will add one if not given, but
its GMT offset is wrong (as of 4.0.5RC1). so build it by yourself.
$utcoff = (date("Z") / 60 / 60) * 100;
$utcoff = sprintf("%05d", $utcoff);
$mdate = date("D, d M Y H:i:s")." " . $utcoff;
//$mdate = date("r");
2) it is important to use "Errors-to:" as opposed to "Errors-To:"
(notice case) to work around a bug in mail() on NT.

My situation here is:
NT 4, with Netscape SuiteSpot web server running 128 Bit SSL
with are located behind a firewall, with only port 443 open to traffic
Is it possible to use PHP, and connect to a database for dynamic content
with only port 443 open?
thanks

Hi,
I'm trying out various programs with PHP and am now on the topic of CSV
files.
My program contained minor errors which were soon fixed (the path of the
DBA extension, etc.) But now I have this new error that I can't seem to
solve.
The statement in question is
$i = dba_open($dbpath, "w", $dbtype); // $dbtype = "db2"
I get the error,
Warning: no such handler: db2 in F:\PHPSTUFF\Adbook.php on line 6
Changing the value of $dbtype from "db2" to "dba", "gdbm", etc. all
result in the same kind of error for each type!. Am i missing something
here? Do I have to install any modules that i'm not aware of. I was under
the impression that php supported these types internally.
One more thing ... what's the difference between dba_open() and
dbmopen(),
dba_fetch(), dbmfetch() etc
thanks.

So far only Microsoft Visual C++ is supported.

I sucessfully installed the cygwin version of postgres on Windows ME (using
latest version of cygwin distro).
I can connect to the postgres server and create databases using psql.
I am now trying to connect to it from PHP.
I downloaded the latest development snapshot from php4win (php-4.0.7-dev).
I am running php as a module on my windows platform using a recent version
of Apache as the HTTP server.
I configured the relevant extension info in my php.ini
extension_dir = c:/php-4.0.7/extensions/
extension=php_pgsql.dll
I copied all the dlls in the dll directory to my windows/system folder.
I cannot connect to my running postgres server.
I lauched postgres with the following command:
/usr/share/postmaster -i -h 127.0.0.1 -D /usr/share/postgresql/data
Test script:
<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect("host=127.0.0.1 host=5432 dbname=mydb");
?>
Gives me this error:
Warning: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: connectDBStart() --
unknown hostname: 127.0.0.1 in c:\apache\htdocs\pg.php on line 2
Any ideas on what I might do to fix the error?
Also, has anybody gotten Postgres and PHP to work together on a Windows ME
setup (or win 98, 95?)?
Regards,
Paul
