I am having an issue with the Form Processing built-in PHP form processing script.

What I am trying to accomplish here is, when a client opts-in via my form and PHPMailer sends an email to me and also the Auto Responder to the client , I want my NAME to show up in the FROM: field and not my email address.

I noticed the PHP generated code creates

$mail->FromName = $mailfrom

and

$mail->FromName = $autoresponder_from

If I manually change $mailfrom and $autoresponder_from to my name then the received emails have my name in the FROM: field and not my email address.

It’s frustrating that I have to manually alter the PHP code every time I make a change or test it after uploading my pages.

Could you add a field to input a text name for the [FROM:] on the Form Processing and also for the Auto Responder. That way I don’t have to manually change the code after I upload it.

I noticed there is a [More...] button for CC: and BCC: and FROM: but they only except email address. If I put text in any of those fields the page fails to load properly. It loads into the browser with all of the PHP code displayed over top of the page. I can’t figure out what the error message is because it doesn’t display a PHP error message.

If you can change the FROM: in the [More...] section to except text for the $mail->FromName = 'myName' and not email addresses, and also for the Auto Responder part to except text for the $mail->FromName = 'myName' that would save me a lot of time.

I also tried toggling the "Set Envelope-from address for PHP mail() with the -f option" checked or uncheck in the Miscellaneous tab with no results. No difference either way.

If you have any solutions or suggestions, that would great.

1. Right click the form
2. Select 'Object HTML'
3. Click 'Custom form processing'
4. Copy code:

Thank you, that fixes half my issue. I didn’t know this Custom Form Processing existed. That will come in handy

It overrides [$mail->FromName = $mailfrom] but how do I override the [$mail->FromName = $autoresponder_from] PHP code section.

[$mail->FromName = $autoresponder_from] sits after the Custom Form Processing [$mail->FromName=”My Name”;] is inserted into the code, so it can’t override.

Any other solutions?

I'm sorry, there is currently no option for that.
I will investigate if this can be added in a future update.
