PHP Form: How do i hide my email address?

[matlamont]

Hi guys,

I have a PHP form and when a user submits the form it sends the data to my email address and also sends a confirmation email to the user but the problem i have is the confirmation email to the user shows its from my email address. How can i change it so it says "noreply" or "automated response email"?

Heres the code that it think is causing the problem

/* MAIL TO USER */

$from = "$admin_email<$admin_email>";
$headers = "Return-Path: <$admin_email>\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: <$admin_email>\n";
$headers .= "From: $from\n" .
$headers .= "X-Mailer:PHP\n";
$headers .= "X-auth-smtp-user: $admin_email\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers.="Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n";
$headers .="Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\n";

You would just need to set the $admin_email variable to: noreply@yourdomain.com

Or just capture the details the user entered on the contact form into a database. No need for email then.

forget about the above

just change this:

$from = "$admin_email<$admin_email>";
$headers .= "From: No-Reply@yourwebsitename\n" .
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers.="Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n";
$headers .="Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\n";

and here you go, emails will be sent to your address ($admin_email, but nothing will show on the recipient.
You've just added to many optional info in your header, your email shouldn't show in the email header to your visitor.
