The manual explains how to send additional headers like a "From:" for
example.

http://www.php.net/mail

Another thing:

> //This line sends to thankyou page when finished
> header("Location: thanks.php");

The location header requires an absolute address including scheme (http)
and hostname.

http://www.php.net/header
