email from remote hosting server

Dear all this is my first post in a forum. So I don't know if I am post at the right place or not.
Anyway my problem is regarding email. I send the form fields through the mail() function. But the email reaches from someone named
ipg.abhisekasahucom@boscgi3402.eigbox.net

I want to change this address to something my personal, like , me@mydomain.com

I am sure it can be done but dont know how to do this. Please reply soon.

Code:

---

<?php
    $to = "someone@example.com";
    $subject = "Test mail";
    $message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
    $from = "someonelse@example.com";
    $headers = "From:" . $from;

    mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
    echo "Mail Sent.";
?>

Thanks a lot Pactor21 for your solution. My main problem resolved. Now the 2nd problem is the mail which I get is little deformed. The special characters like ', '' are followed by an \ .
Why am I not getting the mail as it is? Another thing is the new line i.e when I press enter button in the text area it is not shown in the mail.

In order to determine what's causing the problem, I need to see your PHP file sending emails.

You might be encoding the message body variable with some function.

Below is the form processing file.

PHP Code:

---

<?php
$name = $_POST[name];
$email = $_POST[email];
$subject = $_POST[subject];
$company = $_POST[company];
$message = $_POST[message];
$from = "email id from which the email would be sent";

$mail_header = 'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n";
$mail_header .= 'Content-Type: text/html; charset = iso-8859-1'."\r\n";
$mail_header .= 'From:'.$from;
$to = 'email id to be sent';
$email_subject = $subject;
$email_message = $message;

mail($to,$email_subject,$email_message,$mail_header);

header('Location:services.php');
?>

After processing below content
form message: My website's requirement is...

after email i get: My website\'s requirement is...

Try this for $message.

Code:

---

$message=stripslashes($message);

---

Thanks pactor for your help. the stripslashes() worked very well. But the problem is when someone presses the "enter" key then in the mail a new line should start, but in my case it's not creating a new line.

Try this then.

Code:

---

$message=nl2br(stripslashes($message));

---

yes. the nl2br() worked. But why such type of problems occur with mail() ? Till now following problems have been encountered.
1. The quotes are not escaped rather a backward slash "\" is encountered. This is rectified by adding stripslashes(). One thing I should mention that i am not getting the "\"s while testing on my local machine, wamp server. But in Ipage's server I am getting the "\".

2. The new line character or the <br> is not executed. This is rectified by using nl2br(). Though nl2br() is not the perfect one. When following text is sent through the form mail

After using nl2br() I am getting following result

Code:

You can mark I have given a white space before Praty which is not reflected in the result.
