It would be nice to have the option to have the 'environmental variables' sent through with the InstantPro contact form - similar to the 'env_report' option in Freeola's standard Form_Mail.

i.e.
REMOTE_ADDR:
HTTP_USER_AGENT:


Perhaps this could be included in a future update?
Thanks.

Shame JTD didn't start a new thread for this ;¬P

Freeola's normal script and my original InstantPro request are totally separate beasts just to make things clear to those just arriving.


I think you'll find with Freeola's standard formmail script if you should amend it to show the 'real' sender then currently it will only work if the email address happens to be a Freeola one!

I agree it would be a good improvement to have though!

NB. For sites where this is important many third party scripts will allow this. I can recommend the script from tectite.com that can do most things but takes a while longer to setup.

While you're on the subject of tinkering with e-mail parameters, etc...

I was wondering if there can be an additional parameter on the custom mail script to include a 'proper' sent from name.

For example - if I use the following script :
mail('[email protected]', 'subject', 'body', 'From: [email protected]', '-f [email protected]');

...then the recipient just see's the sender as 'admin'.


An additional parameter - something like:

mail('[email protected]', 'subject', 'body', 'From: [email protected]', '-f [email protected]'), [b]'-s MySite Administrator'[/b];

would be great - unless it already exists or there is a way round this and I just don't know what I'm doing.


Regards

This is actually quite high in my priorities. Can't give an exact time on it though, but should be in the next few months.

I'll leave you all alone for a while as my recent chasing is starting to look as if I'm not happy - when I really am! :¬)
