jordanwb Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 On the php.net website I'm looking at the mail function and I saw this example: <?php // multiple recipients $to = 'aidan@example.com' . ', '; // note the comma $to .= 'wez@example.com'; // subject $subject = 'Birthday Reminders for August'; // message $message = ' <html> <head> <title>Birthday Reminders for August</title> </head> <body> <p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p> <table> <tr> <th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> '; // To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; // Additional headers $headers .= 'To: Mary <mary@example.com>, Kelly <kelly@example.com>' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday@example.com>' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Cc: birthdayarchive@example.com' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Bcc: birthdaycheck@example.com' . "\r\n"; // Mail it mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); ?> There is the $to paramater and the $headers parameter. Now the recipients are defined in both the $to variable and the $headers variable. Which would be considered for destinations? The emails addresses in the $headers variable is not the same as the email addresses in the $to variable.

ratcateme Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 my understanding of email headrers, SMTP and sendmail things is that the emails specified in $to will get the email but it will say it is to the people in the headers field. so if aidan got that email it would say it was to "Mary <mary@example.com>, Kelly <kelly@example.com>" not aidan even though it is in his inbox. and Mary and Kelly wouldn't receive a email.
