you forgot the . in front of the =, as now you replace the original From.

No need of this, if you use the original From.

you know that you are sending your headers to the "sendmail command",
see www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

mail($to, $subject, $comments, $header);

If you want to add something to the header, then use
"X-something: data\r\n"

Don't use two "From:", use "X-Sender:" for the $name, don't forget to
sanitize the user input or else you will end up with mail header
injections.

$header .= "X-Sender: $name\r\n"; // needs sanitation
$header .= "X-UserAgent: $browser\r\n"; // needs sanitation
$header .= "X-IP: $ipAddress\r\n";

To lessen risk for header injections, include those in the body/message.

$comments .= "Abuse Sender: $name\n"; // needs sanitation
$comments .= "User Agent: $browser\n"; // needs sanitation
$comments .= "IP: $ipAddress\n";
