Cc: PHP form processing of cc field 1

[jollydonkey]

Hello,

I'm trying to use php to send a form to 2 cc recipients (the original form filler and an assigned person). While the $to person receives the email, the cc fields are blank. What could I possibly be doing wrong with my code below?

$email = $_POST['email'];
$cc    = $_POST['cc'];

$headers = "From:$email\r\n";
$headers .= "CC:$cc\r\n"; 

$to = 'me@me.com';
$cc = $cc + "," + $email;

mail($to, $cc, $subject, $message, $headers);

Thanks!

Cheers,
Dipesh.

well, the first thing you are doing wrong is misusing the mail() function.

bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )

perhaps something like this

$email = $_POST['email'];
$cc    = $_POST['cc'];
$cc = $cc + "," + $email;
$headers = "From:$email\r\n";
$headers .= "CC:$cc\r\n";

$to = 'me@me.com';


mail($to,$subject, $message, $headers);

Thanks - I tried that (by eliminating the $cc in the mail function), however, I get a 0 in the CC field when the email is generated.

I'm totally stumped and open to ideas.

well, that's probably because you are trying to concatenate using a PLUS sign. this is javascript. in php you use a DOT to concatenate.

$cc = $cc [red].[/red] "," [red].[/red] $email;
