    from header?

    I'm having trouble with the from header in the below mail script. Can anyone help?

    PHP Code:
    function is_valid_email($from_email)
    {
        return     preg_match('#^[a-z0-9.!\#$%&\'*+-/=?^_`{|}~]+@([0-9.]+|([^\s\'"<>]+\.+[a-z]{2,6}))$#si', $from_email);
    } 


    $headers  =  "From: " . $_POST["name"];
    $headers .= "<" . $_POST["email"] . ">\r\n";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";

    $headers .=     "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"
              . "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n"
            . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n"; 


    $to_email = "dada@hotmail.com";
    $subject = "Watch Website Thing";
    $name.=$_POST['name']."\n" ;
    $from_email.=$_POST['email'] ."\n" ;
    $msg.=$_POST['message']."\n" ;


    $message = "

    <body>

        <b>Name:</b><br>
            $name

    <br> <br>

        <b>Email:</b><br>
            $from_email

    <br> <br>

        <b>Message:</b><br>
            $msg

    </body>
    "    ;
        
        
    $sent = mail($to_email, $subject, $message, $headers) ;
    if(    $sent)
    {print     "Your mail was sent successfully."; }

    else
    {print     "We encountered an error sending your mail"; }

    ?>

    PHP Code:

        
        
    $sent     = mail($to_email, $subject, $message, $headers) ;
    if(    $sent)
    {print     "Your mail was sent successfully."; }

    else
    {print     "We encountered an error sending your mail"; }


    print     "\$_POST['email'] is " . $_POST["email"] 
    print     "<code>$headers</code>";


    ?> 
    Add the last two lines to see what the actual values are.
    ...you might have to look at the return source since you put from address in < brackets >

    Re: from header?

    Any particular reason why your from headers are in "<" and ">"?

    Re: from header?

    I got it working abit better but i can only get it working to display the email its from when the email is sent. I would like it to display the name and then when the user presses reply it replies to their email. (I hope that made sense)

    My code at the moment:

    PHP Code:
    $headers .=     "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"
              . "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n"
            . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n"; 


    $to_email = "daaaa@hotmail.com";
    $subject = "Watch Fair";
    $name.=$_POST['name']."\n" ;
    $from_email.=$_POST['email'] ."\n" ;

    $headers .= "From: $from_email\r\n";

        
    $msg .=$_POST['message']."\n" ;


        
    $message = "

    <body>

        <b>Name:</b><br>
            $name

    <br> <br>

        <b>Email:</b><br>
            $from_email

    <br> <br>

        <b>Message:</b><br>
            $msg

    </body>
    "    ;


        
    $sent = mail($to_email, $subject, $message, $headers) ;
