[SOLVED] Basic PHP Email

[nashyboy]

Guys this is probably very straight forward however, i can't quite work it out.

 

Please see the below code....

 

<?php

$to = 'nashy@email.co.uk, ';

$subject = 'test';

$message = "Blah Blah\n\n

Name: " . $name . "\n

Username: " . $username . "\n

Site: " . $site . " \n

Role: " . $role . " \n\n

Regards\n

Selection Services";

$headers .= "CC: ghgfd@alh.co.uk\r\n";

$headers .= "From: Can@alh.co.uk\r\n";

 

 

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

 

?>

 

All works except the cc field.

 

I receive the email stating it has been cc'd to ghgfd@alh.co.uk however its doesnt actually go to them.....

 

If someone could help it would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Paul

Perhaps it is case-sensitive, the manual says "Cc" not "CC"

[PureEvil]

Could it be getting filtered on their end possibly?

 

I'd try another email address in place of theirs for testing. See if it reaches that address.

I recommend PHPMailer - http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/

 

Its easy to use and powerful in features

Have tried the various things above but no joy and dont particlatly want to use a mailer would rather have my own code work.

 

i can get away without using the cc if i can send to 2 addresses. however the below doesnt work still....

 

<?php

$to = 'nashy@email.co.uk, ghgfd@alh.co.uk';

$subject = 'test';

$message = "Blah Blah\n\n

Name: " . $name . "\n

Username: " . $username . "\n

Site: " . $site . " \n

Role: " . $role . " \n\n

Regards\n

Selection Services";

$headers .= "From: Can@alh.co.uk\r\n";

 

 

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

 

?>

fully tested working ok.

 

<?php

$to = 'admin@me.com';

$subject = 'test!';
$message = "Blah Blah\n\n
Name: " . $name . "\n 
Username: " . $username . "\n 
Site: " . $site . " \n
Role: " . $role . " \n\n
Regards\n
Selection Services";


$headers = "From: Can@alh.co.uk\r\n" .
       'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n" .
       "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" .
       "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n" .
       "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n\r\n";


if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){

echo"Mail was sent to: $to";

}else{

echo"Sorry the email $to was bad ";

}

?>

Thats works great however, it doesnt give the line breaks anymore?

 

Also how can i parse the "$name" (from the form) into the subject?

 

Is just displaying as Blah Blah $name

[nashyboy]

Dont worry sorted -

 

Thanks!
