"from" header in mail scripts

Hello,

what is the right way to define a "from" mail header?

Code:

<?php
$header = "From: \"My name\" <my_email@address.com>";

or

Code:

<?php
$header = "From: My name <my_email@address.com>";

note the double quotes...

I think the second is the right one.

BTW, if you want to do something difficult with email stuff check this class. It is the best email class around.

Thanks for the comment, I have my own php mailer class (its a more simple script without html mail at the moment)

I checked the code inside phpmailer and they are using a string without quotes arround the name.

I'm asking this because my (professional) provider told me that the surrounding quotes are according the RFC recommendations.

I use the "quoteless" version too...

Edit: I think email could be a tag at this forum...
