PHP Form - not receiving email

[Gainax]

Hi

 

I have a form which sends out an email. I'm trying to send it to muliple people.

The following is my code:

 

        $to  = "bob@example.com"; 

    $subject = "New Applicants submit";

    $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

    /* headers adicionais */
    $headers .= "To: Jim <jim@example.com>, Ted <ted@example.com>\r\n";
    $headers .= "From: Web <website@example.com>\r\n";

    mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);

 

This all works fine when I put the email addresses of some of my colleagues (using Gmail). But If I try putting any other email, those who use Outlook, no-one receives the emails.

 

Is there anything wrong with my form?

You need to add the additional recipients to the $to section adding them to the headers is not enough that just notifies the others as to who the email was sent. Also if it works on a gmail account then it is fine, sounds like you have the wrong emails or the outlook users do not have there email client setup right, or it is filtering it as spam, be sure to check junk folder in outlook.

$to  = "bob@example.com, ted@example.com, jim@example.com";

 

Will this do?

[jcrew]

$to  = "bob@example.com, ted@example.com, jim@example.com";

 

Will this do?

 

Yes.

[ignace]

$to  = "bob@example.com, ted@example.com, jim@example.com";

 

Will this do?

 

Yes.

 

Their has been a post before who had problems sending his mail to multiple recipients using $to. Altough 'to' can accept multiple recipients it's probably better - for spam sake's - to only add 1 'to' recipient and split all others over cc and bcc

That's interesting! Definitely keeping that in mind. (Usually, in the far few in between cases where I use mail(), I just hold a while() statement and send each person an individual email).

I concur with Jcrew, as it has been my experince that if I have more than 3 recipients then the messages need to be sent as seperate emails.

[Gainax]

So something along the lines of:

 

        $to  = "bob@example.com";

    $subject = "New Applicants submit";

    $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

    /* headers adicionais */
    $headers .= "From: Web <website@example.com>\r\n";
    $headers . = "Cc: jim <jim@example.com>, ted <ted@example.com>";

    mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);

How would I do this?

[WolfRage]

<?php
$to=explode(',',$to);
foreach($to as $recipient) {
    mail($recipient,$subject,$message);
}
?>

[Gainax]

Will I still have the following code?

 

$to  = "bob@example.com, ted@example.com, jim@example.com";

[WolfRage]

Yes but you should use single quotes instead of double, just because double are not necessary and add some extra processing time.

[Gainax]

What about the headers?

 

The email gets sent as HTML.

 

Can I still have the $headers in the mail()?

[Gainax]

My code is :

 

    $to  = 'jim@example.com, bob@example.com, ted@example.com';

    $subject = "New Applicants submit";

    $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

    $headers .= "To: Ted <ted@example.com>, bob <bob@example.com>, jim <jim@example.com>\r\n";
    $headers .= "From:  Website <website@example.com>\r\n";

        $to = explode(',',$to);
        foreach($to as $recipient)
        {
        mail($recipient,$subject,$msg,$headers);
        }

 

Should this work?

[WolfRage]

Yes but you should also get rid of the space between recipients on the $to var.

[Gainax]

Ok thanks.

 

I'll see If those who should get the emails do in fact get them

 

Thanks

I concur with Jcrew, as it has been my experince that if I have more than 3 recipients then the messages need to be sent as seperate emails.

 

Possibly even personalising the e-mail.

Ok I have the following code now, and only I can get the emails:

 

            $to  = 'client1@example.co.uk,client2@example.co.uk,me@example.com';

                $subject = "Form Submit";

                $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
                $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

               $headers .= "To: Client1 <client1@example.co.uk>,Client2 <client2@example.co.uk>,Me <me@example.com>\r\n";
               $headers .= "From: Website <website@example.co.uk>\r\n";

               $to = explode(',',$to);
               foreach($to as $recipient)
               {

                if (mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers))
                {
                    header('Location: thankyou.php');
                }
                else
                {
                   echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
                }
            }

 

I get the emails fine. But the other 2 email addresses don not receive anything.

 

Is there anything wrong with my code?

 

Thanks

There is nothing wrong with your code. It's probably the SPAM filters that stop your e-mail from being received either send each e-mail individually or only add one $to and add the others to $cc or $bcc

[Gainax]

Ok I now have this:

 

     $to = 'me@example.com';
                $subject = "Form Submit";

               $headers .= "From: Website <me@example.com>\r\n";
               $headers .= "To: me2@example.com\r\n";
               $headers .= "Cc: clients1@example.co.uk\r\n"; 
               $headers .= "Bcc: client2@example.com\r\n";
                $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
                $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

                if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
                {
                    header('Location: thankyou.php');
                }
                else
                {
                   echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
                }

 

Does this look ok?
