mail()function

[LuisDesigns]

hey guys, i have this registration script, when users register, it sends an email with activation link to their email address, but it shows email from the host company, not my webmaster email address. Can i place a mail() function for it???
Where would i place it?
Here is my registration code:


// Send the email.
LINE 66 -> $body = "Thank you for registering at the Therainbowpride.com. To activate your account, please click on this link:\n\n";
LINE 67 -> $body .= " http://www.therainbowpride.com/activate.php?x=" . mysql_insert_id() . "&y=$a";
LINE 68 -> mail($_POST['email'], 'Registration Confirmation', $body);

Thank you guys

Add this to your code (change it to your details/email address!!):

$header = "From: Rainbow Pride Registration <myemail@myaddress.com>";

and then change the quoted line (above) to this:

mail($_POST['email'], 'Registration Confirmation', $body, $header);

No, before the mail function that I gave you. And change the line
above to one that has your email address!

You really should look at the examples on the PHP website - it is a
great resource:
