I have this script:

$to      = $_GET["to"];
$subject = $_GET["sub"];
$message = $_GET["message"];
$from    = "admin@chipperyman573.com";
$headers = "From:" . $_GET["from"];
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

I go to:

http://chipperyman573.com/THEURL?to=myemail@gmail.com&sub=Subject&message=Hi&from=admin@chipperyman573.com

I want to always send it from admin@chipperyman573.com, however if I want to change the first part (say, to personal@chipperyman573.com) it won't send. I want to use admin@chipperyman573.com.

(admin@chipperyman573.com is the only one that exists).

I am just going to point out that you really need some security on this, or it's all too easy for anyone to send emails from your address. – Erty Seidohl Jun 24 '13 at 01:53

Can you send ANY mail from the PHP server? It is a common misconception, that the `mail()` function in PHP will "just work" - e.g. you need a running MTA. – Eugen Rieck Jun 24 '13 at 01:55
It's password protected, in able to access it you have to get past [this](http://puu.sh/3mQta.png) – The Flubbs Jun 24 '13 at 01:55
@EugenRieck Can you define "MTA"? Sorry, I'm new... – The Flubbs Jun 24 '13 at 01:56
First of all: Can you send ANY mail from the PHP server? – Eugen Rieck Jun 24 '13 at 01:56
Using the CPanel thing, yes. – The Flubbs Jun 24 '13 at 01:57
OK - let me rephrase: Does the use of the `mail()` function in PHP work normally, but not in this script, or does it never work. – Eugen Rieck Jun 24 '13 at 01:58
It worked on my old host however I switched. I was using a slightly different code however for the most part it was the same (There was no $_GET for the from, it was just a static string). I'll try it now... **EDIT** Okay, I can send with a static "From" header. – The Flubbs Jun 24 '13 at 01:59

Well, in fact I was talking about **this** server, not some other. – Eugen Rieck Jun 24 '13 at 01:59
I want to enter it with the URL. – The Flubbs Jun 24 '13 at 02:02
