[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 = '[email protected], ';

$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: [email protected]\r\n";

$headers .= "From: [email protected]\r\n";

 

 

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

 

?>

 

All works except the cc field.

 

I receive the email stating it has been cc'd to [email protected] 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"

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 = '[email protected], [email protected]';

$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: [email protected]\r\n";

 

 

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

 

?>

fully tested working ok.

 

<?php

$to = '[email protected]';

$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: [email protected]\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

Dont worry sorted -

 

Thanks!

Name: " . $name . "\n 
Username: " . $username . "<br>
Site: " . $site . " <br>
Role: " . $role . " <br>
Regards\n
Selection Services";


$headers = "From: [email protected]\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";

echo"mail was sent to: $to and $headers";

}else{

echo"soory the email was bad ";
