## #8763 — Bennett — 2004-03-26T12:05:48+00:00

This is a patch to add an informational header to messages sent from PHP
via the `mail()` function. This can help to track which script on a server
was used to send a message, and which client caused it to be sent.

The header added has the form: 
	X-PHP-Script: <servername><php-self> for <remote-addr> 
For example: 
	X-PHP-Script: www.example.com/~user/testapp/send-mail.php for
10.0.0.1
