help with tell-form response

Hello!

I learned how to create a "tell-form" with Stefan Mischook's help, as detailed in a tutorial in Web Design 2.0 magazine. I"ve been able to customize a fair bit, which I love! I'm not a programming by any means but can follow php enough to enable customization.

The last part I'm stuck on is being able to change the "From" line in the sent email. It always appears as "Nobody." Actually, I see that it uses my host and is written exactly as:

"Nobody" <nobody@web202.smartwebservers.com>

Is it possible to change the "Nobody" line? And how would I do this?

Thanks so much! Great tutorials!

Re: help with tell-form response

The PHP mail() function is as follows:

mail(your@email, Subject, Message, Headers);

The last parameter, header, allows you to place email headers such as "From: email@address.com".
