Mail() function

[AaronMe]

Hi

I wrote this code, i excepted to get 2 emails, but i am getting only one. what can be the reason?

 

 

$msg = "Click the link:";

$msg .=$actual_link;

 

 

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";

$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";

$headers .= "From: support1@perfactionTest.com\r\n";

$headers .= "Reply-To: myplace2@example.com\r\n";

$headers .= "Return-Path: myplace@example.com\r\n";

$headers .= "CC: sombodyelse@example.com\r\n";

$headers .= "BCC: sombodyelse@example.com\r\n";

 

  $sub = "Confirmation Mail";

 

 mail($email,$sub,$msg,$headers);

mail($email,$sub,$msg,$headers);

With such a short sample of your code it's hard to say WHAT could be wrong with it. Try turning on php error checking (unless it is on already and you haven't shown us).

May I ask if there's a specific reason to use custom mail function? It has been discussed many times, and it would be much easier for you to use an "external" mailing library, such as swiftmail, phpmailer, or similar. It will do everything you need, and will add an extra security as a bonus.

How is your php mail, and mail server configured?  There are a lot of possible moving parts, and ways to debug, for example, delivery to an MTA that is then sending the mails along.

 

I can say that in the modern world, trying to send emails directly from an application server is a great way to have your email marked as spam or rejected entirely.  Many ISP's put limits on these emails or block them directly.  This is why there are so many remailer services.

 

I agree with phpmillion as well.  There are really sophisticated and well tested libraries like the ones he listed.  You should look into using one of those.

You can do that much, much easier using any of scripts I wrote about. Give it a try
