mail () && bcc

[skalar]

hello people

im having serious troubles sending mail with php on an win2k system with ms exchange server.

sending mail to a single recipient works fine but if i edit the mail headers because i want to send to mulitple persons neither cc nor bcc work, though the person who's address is in the mailfunction still recieves the mail.

I dont know what to do i need to send mail with bcc but php just wont let me...

anybody any ideas ? help would be really appreciated

Your mileage may vary, since this code frag is from a Linux/Sendmail box, but since the php.ini file lists the command for mail, and that is already working for you, perhaps this will work for you too...

$result = mail ($emailaddress, $subject , $emailtext,
"From: Automated Support <support@$SERVER_NAME>\n" .
"Reply-To: support@$SERVER_NAME\n" .
"X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\n" .
"bcc:$emailcopy1\n".
"bcc:$emailcopy2\n");

As far as I can tell, BCC capability with mail() is broken. I'm not having any trouble with CC.

I was directed to use imap_mail() instead, but this is not in PHP4.

I'm about to write a loop to send the BCCs as individual messages, 'cause I haven't found another solution.
