I've had something strange happen lately with php script I use to send emails from an online contact form and just wondered if any one could shed a little light on the issue.I've had a php script which I use on multiple websites and it has always worked fine, but for some strange reason, I tried using in on one site and it just wasn't working.I tried fiddleing with it and eventually realised that it was something to do with the following section of code:this is the original section of code that usually works fine, but wasn't working for some reason:\[code\]$to = 'My Name <[email protected]>';\[/code\]I then removed the name bit, so that the code looked like this:\[code\]$to = '[email protected]';\[/code\]and now it sends the email through ok.As I say, the top code usually works fine, so any ideas why this time I had to alter the code to get it to work?Any possible explanations would be great
