mail function prob (from)

Hi guys,

In this statement, it works and i can see my name and email shown in the email i received
code:
$from="From: Alice <alice@yahoo.com>";

but when i change this and pass the argument
$fname = alice and $email = alice@yahoo.com,
it doesn't show anything already except in the contents of the email..

Did i miss something or i can not put variables in the from when using mail function ?

Please advise.

code:
$from="From: $fname <$email>";

p.s: in the email, it just show from Apache.

when i added \"$fname\", it works, but when i added additional code
$from="cc:alice2@yahoo.com\n";

it does cc to that email add but the sender info turns back to Apache rather than the input i inserted..

please advise.

You're setting your from variable to a cc address. Try this:
