如何使用PHP在空格中显示带有空格的名称？

Question

I am currently sending text email in PHP and doing something like this:

$from = "from: Hike Attendance [e-mail]";
$to_email_address = 'some email';
$subject = 'Some subject';
$contents = 'Blah';

mail($to_email_address, $subject, $contents, $from);

When I send it, it appears as sent from Hike.Attendance.Update which doesn't look very good. How can I make it appear with spaces instead of dots?

Thanks, Alex

Try:

$from = "from: \"Hike Attendance\" <[e-mail]>";

I think that's specified in some RFC for email, namely RFC 5322.
