Add Bcc to mail() ?

[Pellefant]

Hello!

I have made this all by myself, and it works fine. Now I would like to add a Bcc mail address, and have no clue how to do it.

//Here a mail is sent  

$adress = "nospam@nospam";
$subject = "New download from the webpage!";
$message = "A new download was made!\n\nFile: $file\n name:$name\n company:$company\n email:$email\n phone:$phone\n$today";
$from = "the webpage <>";
mail("$adress", "$subject", "$message", "From: $from");

Here's the link to the manual for the mail() function: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

$address = "nospam@nospam";
$subject = "New download from the webpage!";

$message = "A new download was made!\n\n";
$message .= "File: $file\n";
$message .= "name:$name\n";
$message .= "company: $company\n";
$message .= "email:$email\n";
$message .= "phone:$phone\n $today";

$headers = "From: the webpage <>\r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: [email][e-mail][/email]\r\n";

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

Hello!

I have tried your code now, it seems like only the main address got a mail, not never the bcc, I tried with 2 of my mail adresser, and when I switched them in the code, the other one(still the main) was mailed, but never the bcc.

Maybe just a spelling error in the code?

Yeah, Bcc headers don't work... pity. I reckon it would be pretty cool if it did.

Cc does though if I remember correctly... maybe use that ... although i guess it defeats the purpose of a blind copy.

could always just use a loop... although with too many emails, you'll get a script time out error. Which is anoying.

This is my little script I use all over the place. I keep it handy in my snippets folder. It has the full list of available headers. Even can send html if you want. Test it out. All headers work. Simply comment or uncomment the headers you don't want.

<?php

$MyEmail = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Write your subject here.";

$date = (date ("F j, Y"));
$time = (date ("H:i:s"));

$text = "

Re: ".$subject." Date: ".$date." at ".$time."

---

Kind Regards, YOURNAME ".$MyEmail."
---------------------------------------------------";

// comment the lines you don't want to use.
$headers = "From: SomePerson or SomeThing <[e-mail]>\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: <[e-mail]>\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; // mailer
$headers .= "X-Priority: X\n"; // Urgent message! Where X is Use 1, 2 or 3 One being urgent.
$headers .= "Return-Path: <[e-mail]>\n"; // Return path for errors
$headers .= "cc: [e-mail], [e-mail]\n"; // CC to
$headers .= "bcc: [e-mail], [e-mail]\n"; // BCCs to
// If you want to send html mail, uncomment the line below and write html tags in your $text area.
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; // Mime type

$subject = stripslashes($subject);
$text = stripslashes($text);
@mail($MyEmail, $subject, $text, $headers);

//Simple error checking. This can be deleted but it's helpful to have.
if (mail($MyEmail, $subject, $text, $headers)){
echo "<script language=\"javascript\"><!--\n";
echo "alert(\"Mail sent successfully.\");\n";
echo "//--></script>\n";
}else{
echo "<script language=\"javascript\"><!--\n";
echo "alert(\"An unknown error has occurred Email has not been sent.\");\n";
echo "//--></script>\n";
}
