Adding Code to enable CC/BCC in a Contact Form

[chome4]

I'm not a PHP programmer but have successfully used PHPMailer to set up a form that works by using pre-written code available out there.

I've been asked to modify a contact form that has an extra empty 'CC' field. I can do that! But how can I make this blank field accept any email address so another person can be copied in. There doesn't seem to be any help, with examples.

Thanks...

Would be nice to see some code...

How will the code know what email address should be added in?

Here is the code from a working contact form.

I've seen "foreach ($mail_data['cc'] as $email => $name) {

$driver->addCC($email, $name); }" ...but don't know anything about incorporating this into the code below.

===============================================================================

<?php

    
include 'phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php';
function GetIP(){
    if(getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP")) {
         $ip = getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP");
     }elseif(getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")) {
         $ip = getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR");
         if (strstr($ip, ',')) {
             $tmp = explode (',', $ip);
             $ip = trim($tmp[0]);
         }
     }else{
     $ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
     }
    return $ip;
}

$ip_adress     = GetIP();
$name       = addslashes(strip_tags($_POST['name']));
$sub         = addslashes(strip_tags($_POST['subject']));
$email         = addslashes(strip_tags($_POST['email']));
$message    = addslashes(strip_tags($_POST['message']));
 
 if(empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($message) || empty($sub)){header("Location:form.php?empty"); }else{
 
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();                                   
$mail->Host     = "smtp.****.com"; // smtp host
$mail->Port     = "587"; //587  // Port
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;    
$mail->Username = ******";  //mail address
$mail->Password = "******"; //email password
$mail->From     = "******"; // from mail address
$mail->Fromname = "no-reply"; // From Name
$mail->AddAddress("*****","no name"); //your mail address and name
$mail->WordWrap     = 50;
$mail->Subject      = $sub; // Mail Subject
$mail->Body         = "    Name : ".$name. "
                        <br>E-mail: ".$email. "
                    <br>Message: ".$message . "
                    <br>IP : ".$ip_adress ;
     

$mail->AddReplyTo($email,"Contact Form");
$mail->AddAddress('******');  //mail address
$mail->IsHTML(true);

if($mail->Send())

echo "";

}

 

?>

And what email address are you trying to add as CC? Or is it BCC?

I want the form to have blank fields so the sender can optionally copy in others.

Have you added those fields to the form yet? What does the HTML look like?

See how all those new inputs are named "email"? That's not good. The name is how PHP knows which field's value to get so they all need to be different.
Also the IDs, for that matter. IDs must be unique on a page.

When those are fixed, post what you have (so we can see the new names) and then try adding some PHP code to get those values. It will be a couple lines that look very much like the lines to get the other fields' values.
Give that a shot and post what you come up with so we can add them into the email message.
