Promblem in email header

[waqasahmed996]

hi to all

i am unable to send email using header. i used code

          $from =  $row['mail_from'];
          $subject =  $row['subject'];
          $head =  $row['header'];

          $Mail_header  = "Content-type: text/html\n";
          $Mail_header .= "From: $head <$from> \n";
          $msg =  $ro['message'];

using above code value of $from is not show may be because of symbols of "<" and ">" and thats why mail is not sent

then i used code

          $from =  $row['mail_from'];
          $subject =  $row['subject'];
          $head =  $row['header'];

          $Mail_header  = "Content-type: text/html\n";
          $Mail_header .= "From: $head <$from> \n";
          $msg =  $ro['message'];

by using above code value of variable $from is got but still unable to send email.
please give me some solution

there are some mail classes out, that make sending emails far easier than PHP's mail() function.
for instance Swift Mailer

Also, line 7 you have a typing mistake. $ro should be $row.

Do you get any errors? Any output? What does happen? What doesn't happen?

Hi.

The &lt; and &gt; symbols are HTML symbols. Why would you put them in an email header?

Anyhow, the manual provides excellent examples of how to construct the headers for HTML emails (example #4).
Try replicating the syntax used there.

Also, from the link I posted above:

Multiple extra headers should be separated with a CRLF (\r\n).
