Question

I refer to this page. https://bootstrapious.com/p/how-to-build-a-working-bootstrap-contact-form

i want mailheader "name"

but this php code is

 <?php // configure $from = 'Demo contact form <demo@domain.com>'; $sendTo = 'Demo contact form <demo@domain.com>'; $subject = 'New message from contact form'; $fields = array('name' => 'Name', 'surname' => 'Surname', 'phone' => 'Phone', 'email' => 'Email', 'message' => 'Message'); // array variable name => Text to appear in the email $okMessage = 'Contact form successfully submitted. Thank you, I will get back to you soon!'; $errorMessage = 'There was an error while submitting the form. Please try again later'; // let's do the sending try { $emailText = "You have new message from contact form\\n=============================\\n"; foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) { if (isset($fields[$key])) { $emailText .= "$fields[$key]: $value\\n"; } } $headers = array('Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8";', 'From: ' . $from, 'Reply-To: ' . $from, 'Return-Path: ' . $from, ); mail($sendTo, $subject, $emailText, implode("\\n", $headers)); $responseArray = array('type' => 'success', 'message' => $okMessage); } catch (\\Exception $e) { $responseArray = array('type' => 'danger', 'message' => $errorMessage); } if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest') { $encoded = json_encode($responseArray); header('Content-Type: application/json'); echo $encoded; } else { echo $responseArray['message']; } 

so i tried

$sendTo = 'Demo contact form '; => my mail.

$from = 'Demo contact form '; => $name <'$email'> but the result is "nobody"

So i tried again.

  $headers = array('Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8";', 'From: ' . $from, 'Reply-To: ' . $from, 'Return-Path: ' . $from, ); 

=>

  $headers = array('Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8";', 'From: ' . $from<$email>, 'Reply-To: ' . $from, 'Return-Path: ' . $from, ); 

But it failed...

what should i do?

i tried

From: $FromName and

$headers = "From: $from_user \\r\\n". and

$headers .= 'From: "'. $from . '" <' . $Email . '>' . "\\r\\n"; etc...

Answer 1

This worked for me

$name = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']));
$email_address = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']));

$from = "$name<$email_address>";
