[SOLVED] sending email from webpage, part 2

bossman · November 12, 2009

hello all, since my last post i have managed to get my email form up and running, uploading files to a database and to a directory on the server, and the email is formatted nicely with html and sends to a single user flawlessly.

The new problem...

we want to set it up so that when you hit submit on the form you fill out, it send the email out to 2 people. I can't get it to send to both addresses, only one each time. Im sorry for the lengthy code, but if anybody can take a look at this and give me some suggestions on what to do to get it working i would appreciate it.

here's the code for the dropdown you select. the field marketing manager filling out the request will select themself from this dropdown...(im using my personal email address right now just for testing purposes)....

<form action="send_request_4.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="myform">
<label><strong>Field Marketing Manager:</strong></label><br/>
<select name="1_mark_manager">
<option value="Zarnaz Arlia <opusrandy@gmail.com>">Zarnaz Arlia</option>
<option value="Susanna Church <opusrandy@gmail.com>">Susanna Church</option>
<option value="Nico Juber <opusrandy@gmail.com>">Nico Juber</option>
<option value="Amanda Lowe <opusrandy@gmail.com>">Amanda Lowe</option>
<option value="Shawna McGrath <opusrandy@gmail.com>">Shawna McGrath</option>
<option value="Lisa Parillo <opusrandy@gmail.com>">Lisa Parillo</option>
<option value="Ozlem Yilmaz <opusrandy@gmail.com>">Ozlem Yilmaz</option>
</select>
<br/><br/>

what happens is not only does it pass the variable to the email to display which field marketing manager is making the request, but it uses the email address to fill in the $tocc variable and $nametocc variable

here is the php that handles the form...

<?php
$h="------";
$u="------";
$p="------";
$d="------";

$link = mysql_connect ($h, $u, $p) or die ("Could not connect to database, try again later");
mysql_select_db($d, $link);

thank you

Sorry for not going though your code in depth but you can send as many emails as you want.

mail(($to1,$subject, $message, $headers);

mail(($to2,$subject, $message, $headers);

you can send as many as you want. You could go through a loop of email to's

Can't see why there is a problem.

Desmond.

bossman · November 12, 2009

sweet i didnt know you could do that, thanks!

bossman · November 12, 2009

ill give that a shot and ill keep this thread unsolved in case i run into anymore issues

mrMarcus · November 13, 2009

you were on the right track with adding a CC:

you gotta add the CC: to the headers like so:

<?php
$headers = "From: $namefrom <$from>" . $newLine .
     "CC: $nametocc <$tocc>";
?>

bossman · November 13, 2009

aaaah ok ok i see what your saying. Both of your replies were very helpful. I'm going to implement the CC: now and test i will post the results. THANK YOU!

bossman · November 13, 2009

hmmm...im still having problems, i added the CC: everywhere, and now i can't get it to send an email at all now. not to my $to or to me $tocc

I made some changes to the code as well, i will mark where i made my changes

Can anyone help me figure out why its not working now?

mrMarcus · November 13, 2009

you can multiple recipients within the To: argument, separated by commas:

<?php
$to  = 'someone@somewhere.com' . ', ' .
$to .= 'someone_else@somewhere.com';
?>

bossman · November 13, 2009

//retrieve vital header information
$to = "rkettering@jpenterprises.com";
$to = $_POST['1_mark_manager'];
$nameto = "Randy Kettering";
$from = "admin@adobedayevents.com";
$namefrom = "Adobe Day Events Administrator";
$subject = "Project Request";

im not quite sure what my problem is...now i can get it to send to the 1_mark_manager but it wont send to ME, which is the first $to up there, i used the code you posted above but when i used it, it didn't send out ANYTHING to either of the email addresses

mrMarcus · November 13, 2009

note the .= i have in my code.

try this, i had a typo in my code:

<?php
$to  = 'someone@somewhere.com' . ', ';
$to .= 'someone_else@somewhere.com';
?>

the .= concats the strings together. the same as writing $to out as one:

<?php
$to = 'someone@somewhere.com' . ', ' . 'someone_else@somewhere.com';
?>

got it?

bossman · November 13, 2009

yup yup im gonna give that a shot

bossman · November 13, 2009

the only different between wut you posted and what i have is the fact that for the second recipient, im pulling a variable from the form.

$to = "rkettering@jpenterprises.com" . ',' . $_POST['1_mark_manager'];

is there a different procedure for if your doing what im trying to do with the $_POST?
