PhPMailer SetFrom

Hello,

I went through PhPMailer methods and I was interested in SetFrom method used in shirts4mike project.

In my own project I want to take only the users email without his name so my questions is can i omit the second parameter?

SetFrom($address, $name = "")

Hi Kristian,

PHPMailer doesn't require a name to be passed into the setFrom method so you can safely omit it.
