[SOLVED] Standard Please Help Me Gods -

[Chezshire]

My goal is simple, i want to adjust the code below so that when a message is sent to the person registering/join my stupid little rpg site all those in the mod group get the e-mail. I hoped that I could just add the addresses in and tried that but I got the following error:

 

Warning: mail(): Bad parameters to mail() function, mail not sent. in /home/content/z/a/n/zanland/html/xpg/adduser.php on line 173

 

So what i need to know is how to set a mail function. Ideally i'd like to do it by setting a single group like 'Reply-To: XPG <$eModChar2>' which would be for one group of people and 'Reply-To: XPG <$eModChar1> which would be a different group. below is what i'm working with. I'm very new to this - I am reading tutorials on this stuff but it's still very confusing to me - i'm just a little notive swimming with the sharks

 

 

 

This Code works, but it doesn't do exactly what I want it to do.

I thought that this would work, but i get an error in stead. In the above code, I dropped the follow extra e-mail address into it: > "Byrne <[email protected]>", <

As shown below, it didn't work. Instead i got an error.

if (!$APPROVED && !$id) {
mail("Ditko <[email protected]>", "Byrne <[email protected]>", "[$siteName] New Player", "A new member has submitted a profile to the $siteName website.\n\nName: $NAME\nUsername: $USERNAME\n\nVisit this URL to approve the member:\nhttp://www.xpg.us/home.php", "Return-Path: Ditko <[email protected]>\nErrors-To: Ditko <[email protected]>\nFrom: Ditko <[email protected]>\nReply-To: Ditko <[email protected]>\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
} // end if not approved

The mail() function takes at most 5 parameters. The first parameter is the "To" address list. You need to include all of the addresses inside the quotes:

<?php
if (!$APPROVED && !$id) {
mail("Ditko <[email protected]>, Byrne <[email protected]>", "[$siteName] New Player", "A new member has submitted a profile to the $siteName website.\n\nName: $NAME\nUsername: $USERNAME\n\nVisit this URL to approve the member:\nhttp://www.xpg.us/home.php", "Return-Path: Ditko <[email protected]>\nErrors-To: Ditko <[email protected]>\nFrom: Ditko <[email protected]>\nReply-To: Ditko <[email protected]>\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
} // end if not approved
?>

how about storing all the email address into a variable and then putting the variable as the parameter in the mail function?

What bendude15 says above, thats exactly what i want to do, i just don't understand how to. I know i put it in my functions.php file. But how i set it up with edress1, edress2, edress3, etc. thats what i don't understand. Please if you can help i'll worship at your PHP alter

 

Thank you

[kenrbnsn]

You can do either

<?php
$to = 'address1,address2,address3';
mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);
?>

or

<?php
$to = array('address1','address2','address3');
mail(implode(',',$to),$subject,$body,$headers);
?>

Can i turn that into a function? Can i include that in my functions in the manner your wrote it? then use an include to include that?

[kenrbnsn]

Why do you want to turn it into a function? Just put the string where ever you need it. No sense in make more work.

 

As for the includes, you can put the string in the include file and it will work. Instead of asking the questions and waiting for an answer, try it. If what you try doesn't work, then ask.

I'd love to have it in various spots because we have different people who join and help  run the game as moderators and the leave so it'd be nice to have one spot where i could edit the contract edress that are used through out the site. So making it a function would be awesome. I'm just not sure how i do that.
