I need to get a sender's email address, and currently I have this to get it:

PHP:
if (preg_match('/[fF]rom: ?[a-z0-9&\.\-_\+]+@[a-z0-9\-]+\.([a-z0-9\-]+\.)*?[a-z]{2,6}+/is', $lines[$i], $matches)) 
{
            $from = $matches[1];
}

Any idea on why it's not getting the address? It will get the address if it's from anything but a cell phone, which is what I need it to get anyways.

An email header looks like this (Gmail to be specific)

Code:

That should work great. Thanks Noobie! :)

PHP:
 if ( preg_match("/From:.*?[A-Za-z0-9\._%-]+\@[A-Za-z0-9\._%-]+.*/", $headers, $froms) ) {
     preg_match("/[A-Za-z0-9\._%-]+\@[A-Za-z0-9\._%-]+/", $froms[0], $fromarr);
     $from = $fromarr[0];
  }
