Hi there  
I’ve got a submit form on a website, but doesn’t have an email field. Usually, when I develop a form to send mail, I include the email as the $from\_header. Like this :

```php
        $header = "From: " . $email;
mail("my@email.com", $subject, $body, $header);

```

But now, I want the name field to show in the From column… Like this :

```php
$header = "From: " . $name;
 mail("my@email.com", $subject, $body, $header);

```

but if I do that, it puts on this long “looks like an email address” after the name.

Hope you understand?

Please let me know how I can make only the senders name show in the email.

Thanks!
