Send mail form .php

[ghi572000]

I am trying to send the data entered in to the form to myself and to the user.

 

At the moment I am getting the data sent to myself but cant find the way to send it to the user.

 

I am using this code below

 

<?php

 

mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $from);

 

?>

 

How can I get the user to get the data by email as well?

 

Thanks

One way would be to add a Cc: email header.

Pikachu2000 thanks could you show me where and how to add this to my code?

 

mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $from);

you need to "capture" the users email using a form

I am able to capture the users email in the form as

 

$visitormail = $_POST['visitormail'];

 

How can I add the user visitormail to send as mail?

 

<?php

 

mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $from);

 

?>

You'd just need to concatenate it to your $from variable, since that's the one that would hold additional headers for the mail() function. So to whatever that variable holds now you'd add a newline \n, then the Cc.

 

$sender = (sender's email address);

$from = "whatever it is now\n";

$from .= "Cc: $sender";

[/code]

This is what I have now;

 

$message = " $todayis [EST] \n

Subject: $subject \n

From: $visitor \n

Email: $visitormail)\n

Phone: $phone \n

IP Address: IP = $ip \n

 

";

 

$from = "From: $visitormail\r\n";

 

 

mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $from);

 

?>

 

Will this work or have I still got it wrong?

 

$message = " $todayis [EST] \n

Subject: $subject \n

From: $visitor \n

Email: $visitormail)\n

Phone: $phone \n

IP Address: IP = $ip \n

 

";

 

$from = "From: $visitormail\r\n";

$from .= "Cc: $visitormail\r\n";

 

 

mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $from);

 

?>

That looks like it should be fine. Did you try it?

[ghi572000]

yes I tried it but no luck?

 

should I add cc as followed?

 

$from = "From: $visitormail\r\n";

$from = "Cc: $visitormail\r\n";

 

mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $from, $Cc);

 

 

[ghi572000]

Okay thanks Pikachu2000 I have got it to work without the Cc in the mail code, however one more problem I need to solve is the Cc mail is being sent from my ISP servers address not mine? Do you know a way I can get the mail sent from my email address?

 

Thanks

You don't add $Cc in the mail() function, the Cc header is already in the $from variable . . .
