PHP Mail adding CC - php

Question

I have this PHP Mail Function:
if(!function_exists("sendemail"))
{
function sendemail($email_to,$email_from,$email_subject,$email_body,$email_replyto)
{
if(filter_var($email_to, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
require_once "/usr/local/lib/php/Mail.php";
$from = $email_from;
$to = $email_to;
$subject = $email_subject;
$body = $email_body;
$host = "mail.domain.co.uk";
$username = "sending#domain.co.uk";
$password = "*******";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject,
'Content-type' => 'text/html');
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body, $cc);
}
}
}
I have added in the ability to CC Email addresses in:
if(!function_exists("sendemail"))
{
function sendemail($email_to,$email_from,$email_subject,$email_body,$email_replyto,$cc)
{
if(filter_var($email_to, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
require_once "/usr/local/lib/php/Mail.php";
$from = $email_from;
$to = $email_to;
$subject = $email_subject;
$body = $email_body;
$host = "mail.domain.co.uk";
$username = "sending#domain.co.uk";
$password = "*******";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Cc' => $cc,
'Subject' => $subject,
'Content-type' => 'text/html');
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body, $cc);
}
}
}
but it only seems to add the CC'd email address(es) into the header and not send the email. it only sends the email to the address in the $email_to variable
Any ideas how i can get the CC working?

I'm assuming you are using the Pear class Mail, If not disregard.
According to this (http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.send.php#2073) you need to have the email address you want to cc to in the receipients and the headers. I personally have never used this code so I can't attest to whether it works or not.
Here is another link saying the same thing: http://raamdev.com/2008/adding-cc-recipients-with-pear-mail/
Pulled from link:
$to = 'to#example.com';
$cc = 'cc#example.com';
$recipients = $to.", ".$cc;
$headers['From'] = 'from#example.com';
$headers['To'] = $to;
$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';
$headers['Cc'] = 'cc#example.com';
$headers['Reply-To'] = 'from#example.com';
$send = $mail->send($recipients, $headers, $body);
Also just in case you ever need it according to the link to BCC you simply add an email address to the $recipients and don't add it to the $headers.
