Yes, what have you tried and how does your code look like right now? — hank, May 12 '14 at 06:52
If you intend to read an email inbox, see [Receive Email using PHP](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4709418/receive-email-using-php) — Barry Staes, May 12 '14 at 06:53
Ok, re-reading the question. Are you asking if you can get the visitors email-address without the user giving it to you? In that case, no. — hank, May 12 '14 at 06:55
@user3546239 yes your title confused me into thinking this was a duplicate of that question. Try rephrasing the question, right now it can be interpreted many different ways. — Barry Staes, May 12 '14 at 06:58

try this:

    $from = "sender id" // sender
    $subject = "subject";
    $message = 'mail from'.$from.'sender';
    $to = "receiver id";
    // send mail
    $headers = 'From: <test@test.com>' . "\n";
    $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ; 
    $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";

    mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

You can not, because you have to specify it yourself in order to make it work.

When sending emails directly from PHP using mail() you have to specify the "from" address yourself.
When sending emails via a POP3 server (e.g. using the phpmailer class), your login account determines the "from" address.

Use PHP's mail() function to send emails.
