#48399 [NEW]: Documentation problem with mail() function

From: jurgen dot westerhof at gmail dot com Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Documentation problem with mail() function Description: ------------ Anyone ever noticed that in the HTML mime mail example above (#4) the BCC addresses are added to $header? You don't want recipients to view BCC addresses. This would defeat the purpose of BCC as it would reveal recipients as CC does. This line should be removed from example #4 on function.mail: $headers .= 'Bcc: birthdaycheck@example.com' . "\r\n"; also, these $cc and $bcc addresses are to be concatenated to $to in the last lineof that example: mail($to.$cc.$bcc, $subject, $message, $headers); Reproduce code: --------------- --- From manual page: function.mail --- -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48399&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48399&r=mysqlcfg
