Another newbie asking for some help

[deucenix]

yes, I've read the tutorials 🙂 let me say the one you guys have here is much easier to understand than a few others I've read.

Okay, I'm just starting out trying to learn php but I built a site for me and some friends in html and some flash and I wanted to do an email form, well I couldn't do it myself at all so after some search I found a good free one but I needed to make an adjust ment to it and the people who made it, understandably wouldn't help me because it was free, and I was hoping someone here could help.

I want to change it so that instead of just emailing to one person's address it can email to several

// Recipient of message (This can be changed via the form itself)
$recipient = '[e-mail]';

// Subject of message (This can be changed via the form itself)
$subject = 'Joining Us';

// This is a list of domains that can run EZ FormMail. Do not include
// www, just the actual domain/ip address!
$referers = array('website.com', 'domain2.com', 'domain3.com');

// This is the page that users will be redirected to after the form is
// processed successfully.
$success_url = 'thanks.html';

// Your site URL
$siteurl = 'http://www.website.com';

is it as simple as just changing the $recipient to

$recipient = array('[e-mail]', '[e-mail]', '[e-mail]');

or is there anything else I must do?

thanks for the help 🙂

edit: I guess not, I get this when I just add the array

Warning: mail() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in C:\web\A001\join\ez_formmail.php on line 152

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\web\A001\join\ez_formmail.php:152) in C:\web\A001\join\ez_formmail.php on line 153

edit#2: changed the Subject from "Another newbie asking for some help" to "Form mailer to multiple addresses" is that better?

You probably need
$recipient = "[e-mail],[e-mail],[e-mail]";

thank you very much for the reply!😃

I tried out what you suggested and sadly I still got an error 🙁

Warning: Failed to Connect in C:\web\A001\join\ez_formmail.php on line 152

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\web\A001\join\ez_formmail.php:152) in C:\web\A001\join\ez_formmail.php on line 153

I appreciate the help though, any other ideas?

First of all, you need to learn to write subject lines on your messages that are meaningful. "Another newbie asking for some help" is not.

Secondly, you need to READ the error messages. Halfabee's answer was correct and, in fact, fixed the problem. Notice that the error message changed.

You are now encountering another problem: "Failed to Connect."

It looks like you're running PHP on Windows. Are you pointing it at a valid SMTP server in your php.ini configuration?

first off, then let me apologize. I'm sorry. I wrote that yesterday after I got off work and being very frustrated and having bad experiences with other so-called help forums I wrote that in a smart ellic way.

As far as know it should be, it's not my server, I'll have to ask

I appreciate the help, thank you.
