Okay, it sounds like you're forgetting the "From: " prefix in front of
$from.
This prefix is necessary because the mail message you are composing must
come out looking essentially like this (this is what gets given to your SMTP
mail server):
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Blah
Here is the main body of the message.
Now, PHP's mail() function will automatically insert the To: and Subject:
headers, and the body, from the first three arguments to mail(). But to add
the custom From: and Cc: headers, you have to add them yourself (correctly
formatted as mail headers) using the fourth argument to mail().
Which is how we get to:
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", $subject, $message,
"From: $from\nCc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]");
Making sense? :)
