Question regarding PHP email

[Digitalosophy]

Ok here's the deal. I did a site for a gaming clan, their web host isn't too good. Actually it stinks, but it comes with their game server account.

Anyway on the contact page there is a php email form. Everything works fine but....

When I recieve the email the from add is: me@localhost.

Now, I can't register an email account with them because i can't get in touch with them. I'm guessing that is the problem? The fact that I'm using an external email account in the php?

Thanks

for the header parameter of the mail() function, use "From: Digitalosophy <digital@gamingclan.net>"

Hey man thanks for the reply, sorry but i'm really not very good at php. Does this look ok to you?

I'm really not sure if i screwed up the header or not, im not sure what order the parameters are supposed to go.


<?
http://www.digitalosophy.com

$name = $_GET['name'];
$email = $_GET['email'];
$clan = $_GET['clan'];
$website = $_GET['website'];
$comments = $_GET['comments'];

$Email = "sosick@digitalosophy.com";
$Subject = "SOD Contact Info";
$Header = "emailtoshow.com";
$Message = "$name, $email, $clan, $website, $comments";


print "Thank you ". $name . ", your order has been placed";


mail($Header,$Email,$Subject,$Message);
?>



Thanks again

mail($Email, $Subject, $Message, $Header);

Also, you'd want $Header to equal "From: emailtoshow.com". It should work then.

And it's alright, you're more of an ASP guy ;)
