I know there are a few similar questions to this but I just can't get it working.
Ok, I have a list of emails grabbed from my database in a variable called $emailList.
I can get my code to send an email from a form if I put the variable in the $to section but
I cannot get it to work with bcc. I've even added an email to the $to incase it was that but it doesn't make a difference.
Here is my code.
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject .= "".$emailSubject."";
$headers .= 'Bcc: $emailList';
$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\n" . "X-Mailer: php";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$message = '<html><body>';
$message .= 'THE MESSAGE FROM THE FORM';
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
$sent = "Your email was sent!";
} else {
$sent = ("Error sending email.");
}
I've tried both codes:
$headers .= 'Bcc: $emailList';
and
$headers .= 'Bcc: '.$emailList.';
It's not that the emails aren't separated because they are. I know they are because it works if I put $emailList in the $to section.
I Should add, ignore the $message bits and the HTML stuff. I've not provided all of that so that is why it's missing from this code.
Answer
You have $headers .= '...'; followed by $headers = '...';; the second line is overwriting the first.
Just put the $headers .= "Bcc: $emailList\r\n"; say after the Content-type line and it should be fine.
On a side note, the To is generally required; mail servers might mark your message as spam otherwise.
$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\n" .
"X-Mailer: php\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: $emailList\r\n";
