Hello everyone:
I have a question about php script.
When a user fills out a small contact us page and we receive it from G-mail and we open the e-mail. In the header section we get James.Smith@net solhost.com
is there away to get rid of @netsolhost.com and just have his name. We have your hosting service with netsolutions.


Here is my script

<?

if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
      
	$email_to = "dwong@lightlaboratory.com" ;
	$from = $_POST["Your_name"];
    $email_subject = "Web Support Inquiry";   

    if(!isset($_POST['comments']) ||
        !isset($_POST['Your_name']) ||
        !isset($_POST['email'])) //{
        died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');      
   // }
          
  $comments = $_POST['comments']; 
  $Your_name = $_POST['Your_name']; 
  $email = $_POST['email']; 

    $email_message = "Web Support Inquiry.\n\n";
     
    function clean_string($string) {
      $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
      return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
    }
    $email_message .= "Comments:    ".clean_string($comments)."\n";
    $email_message .= "Name:    ".clean_string($Your_name)."\n";
    $email_message .= "Email:      ".clean_string($email)."\n";
    
$headers = 'From: '.$Your_name."\r\n".

'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers); 
  header( 'Location: http://www.abc/thank_you.html' ) ;
?>

Please see attached file for a better understanding.
Any help would be great.

In the header section we get James.Smith@net solhost.com
is there away to get rid of @netsolhost.com and just have his name.

is this the requestor address? what if the address does not contain a meaningful name?

Hello Dormilich:
If I don't add a header then I get a bunch of numbers with @netsolhost.com

Any ideals?

Any ideals?

quite some, but that would be off topic. ;)

If I don't add a header then I get a bunch of numbers with @netsolhost.com

question: where does this email address come from?

[nomad]

From your website, hosting site is netsolutions
which then goto to your g-mail account.

that doesn’t answer the question.

fact remains that you have to use an email address in any case. and since you don’t have any post-processing (after the email was send) you have to live with what gmail offers you.

Dormilich:
Is there away round this?

you could try John Smith <John.Smith@net solhost.com> (IIRC).

mailing libraries like SwiftMailer make it easy to pass name and email.
