This example explains the email object's FromName, FromAddress, and From properties. Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\Email;

// The email's FROM name and address can be set in several ways.
// It can include an optional friendly name (which is just a description),
// and it must include an address.

// For example:
$email1 = new Email();
$email1->Subject = 'test';
$email1->Body = 'test';

$email1->FromName = 'Joe Sample';
$email1->FromAddress = 'joe.sample@example.com';

// the From property contains both the FromName and FromAddress
// This produces the following output:
// From: "Joe Sample" <joe.sample@example.com>
echo 'From: ', $email1->From, "\n";
echo "--------------------------------------------------\n";

// Examine the MIME of the email:
echo $email1->GetMime(), "\n";
echo "--------------------------------------------------\n";

// Output is:

//     MIME-Version: 1.0
//     Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2016 12:32:13 -0600
//     Message-ID: <02B461C6D12FA6686C3151A649ED8D5BBFBE0721@CHILKAT13>
//     Content-Type: text/plain
//     Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
//     X-Priority: 3 (Normal)
//     Subject: test
//     From: "Joe Sample" <joe.sample@example.com>
//
//     test

// --------------------------------------------
// Alternatively, the From property can be set, and this
// implicitly sets the FromName and FromAddress properties.

$email2 = new Email();
$email2->From = 'Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>';

echo 'FromName: ', $email2->FromName, "\n";
echo 'FromAddress: ', $email2->FromAddress, "\n";
echo "--------------------------------------------------\n";

echo $email2->GetMime(), "\n";
