Sending multiple emails using php 1

[TrueJoker]

I have set up a form that once submitted will send the information to an email. Is it possible to send to multiple emails such as the cc: option on the email. e.g.

To: Someone@Somewhere.com
cc: Me@Here.com
Subject: Blah blah blah

I have tried and for some reason it puts the other email into the subject field not the cc: field. Any Ideas or simple solutions. Knowing me it will be a simple solution lol

Any time I need to do anything but the simplest sending of email from PHP, I use the PHPMailer class

Well the way im coding it is slightly different to that!

$emess = "Thank you for your registration  ";
$emess .= "\n\nA ID has been set up for you. ";
$emess .= "\n\nYour new ID and password are: ";
$emess .= "\n\nUsername: $newname\nPassword: $newpass";
$emess .= "\n\nIf you have any questions or problems regarding your registration,";
$emess .= " please email webmaster@example.com";
$emess .= "\n\nThank You";
$ehead = "From: member-desk@example.com\r\n";
$subj = "Welcome";
$mailsend = mail("$newname", "$subj", "$emess", "$ehead");

header("Location: new_member.php");

This is a snippet of the code i am using to send the email all i wish to do is be able to add an extra line say taht will then insert an email into the CC: and send once submitted

It's not necessary to put the quotes around these variable references:

$mailsend = mail("$newname", "$subj", "$emess", "$ehead");


Have you looked at what the PHP online manual has to say about CC: on the page dealing with the mail function?

Ah that helped thank you very much it is all working now and as i suspected it was a simple solution of adding another $ehead .= "Cc: email@address.com";

The PHP online manual is one of the best out there. I always make a point of consulting it before I post questions here.

As the manual warnds, don't forget that SMTP headers should be separated by "\r\n", not just "\n". Some mail servers care about this, others don't, and it's easier to do it the universally-accepted way.
