Emailing Bcc

[shawnbot]

My website has a news letter function which currently sends out an email with all addresses in TO: People have requested that the email hide their addresses for privacy/spam, etc reasons. The current code:

 

switch ($_POST['submitBtn']) {

case "Send Newsletter":

        $from = "From: \r\n";       

        $headers = $from . "Content-type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";       

$to = split(',',$recipientEmails);

        $subject = $subjectF;

        $body = $html_str;

       

        foreach ($to as $em){

    mail( $em, $subject, $body, $headers);

}

?>

 

Can anyone suggest a way to have the email addresses show in Bcc: only?

 

Thanks,

The bcc code would go in the headers.

 

$from = "From: \r\n";   
$bcc = "add1@domain.com,add2@domain.com";
$headers = $from.$bcc."Content-type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";

Thanks for the suggestion but...

 

I tired this way:

 

switch ($_POST['submitBtn']) {

case "Send Newsletter":

        $from = "From: Aradia Fitness <info@test.aradiafitness.com>\r\n";       

        $bcc = $em;

        $headers = $from.$bcc."Content-type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";       

        $to = split(',',$recipientEmails);

        $subject = $subjectF;

        $body = $html_str;

       

        foreach ($to as $em){

    mail( $em, $subject, $body, $headers);

}

 

No luck....it still shows the email address in TO:

 

Any other ideas?

 

Thanks,

Did you ever remove it from the $recepientEmails array?  Also where's $em coming from when being assigned to $bcc?

I not sure what you mean by "Did you ever remove it from the $recepientsEmails array?" Can you explain?

 

The $em only appears in this block of code and nowhere else.....I'm not the author so I not sure what the original intent was. I put it in as $bcc=$em becasue the newsletter is being sent to multiple receipients.

 

Thanks,

The $em is being declared after the $bcc variable, so there's nothing actually being assigned to the $bcc variable.  Also, if you haven't removed the email address from the $recipientEmails array then the system will send them the emails in the $to field.  IF you want the email addresses to only show in the $bcc try this.

 

switch ($_POST['submitBtn']) {
   case "Send Newsletter":
        $from = "From: Aradia Fitness <info@test.aradiafitness.com>\r\n";       
        $bcc = $recipientEmails;
        $headers = $from.$bcc."Content-type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";       
        $subject = $subjectF;
        $body = $html_str;
        $to = "test@domain.com";
        mail( $to, $subject, $body, $headers);

 

You need to provide the address you want the email sent to, but all of the recipients will now be in $bcc instead of $to
