Hello,
I currently have implemented a mailing list on my website. However, there is a small bug that causes the email addresses to get dumped into the body of the email and messes up my HTML formatting. I was wondering if someone could help me troubleshoot this problem.
Here is the snippet of PHP code that is responsible for sending the email:
The variables that store my html output are formatted correctly. The problem is that my messages looks like this:

I currently have implemented a mailing list on my website. However, there is a small bug that causes the email addresses to get dumped into the body of the email and messes up my HTML formatting. I was wondering if someone could help me troubleshoot this problem.
Here is the snippet of PHP code that is responsible for sending the email:
Code:
// Store email addresses to Bcc:
$bcc = $emailAddress[0];
for($i = 1; $i < count($emailAddress); $i++)
{
$bcc .= ", " . $emailAddress[$i];
}
// Set up message
$to = "noreply@dealmerchant.net, " . $bcc;
$from = "From: noreply@dealmerchant.net";
$headers = $from . "\r\n";
$headers .= "To: noreply@dealmerchant.net, " . "\r\n";
$headers .= "cc: \r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: " . $bcc . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Subject: DealMerchant.net deals for today" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
print("<p><u>Bcc List</u><br>\n");
print($bcc . "</p>\n");
$sent = mail($to, 'DealMerchant.net deals for today', $htmlFormat, $headers);
if(!$sent)
die("Message failed to send.");
else
print("<p>Email " . $emails . " sent.");The variables that store my html output are formatted correctly. The problem is that my messages looks like this:
Code:
