If you want to send messages in Cc: and Bcc: and personnalize to name of the To: recipients, I found a topic in newsgroup, you have to : put all adresses (including To:, Cc: and Bcc: adress) in the $to field of mail function and then in the header, you put in to: bcc: and cc: the correct adresses... By this way, the mail function will properly put the adresses in the right fields, example : $to = "arnaud@cenet.fr, admin@cenet.fr, test@cenet.fr" $from = "Test PHP <testphp@noreply.cenet.fr>\n"; $headers = "To: Nono <arnaud@cenet.fr>\n"; $headers .= "cc: Admin CEnet <admin@cenet.fr>\n"; $headers .= "Bcc: Hidden test <test@cenet.fr>"; mail ($to,"my subject","my (nice !) body","From: $from".$headers); It works... But now the real bug (yes it is !!) is when typing "Cc:" instead of "cc:" => It looks like there's a emalloc error allocating -875642131 bytes (the number is not ever the same)... Think I'll open a new bug entry !!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-04 03:20:25] arnaud@cenet.fr Seems to work but i need to put addresses between <> for mail from: and rcpt to: fields... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-03 17:25:29] bbonev@php.net i'd suggest one thing - try this (it will give more light if the problem is in your mailserver): telnet localhost 25 helo there mail from: your@address.com rcpt to: dest@address.com data from: "your name" <ffgghjh@addresss.com> to: "name 1" <adr1@adr.com>, "name 2" <adr2@adr.com>, etc@other.com subject: some subject some nice body ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
