PHP's mail() function has stopped sending my emails. I talked with my service provider and they said I have to use SMTP however i am not professional php developer. They tried to give a little help and they provided me with a script which sends email to me when a user submit a form, but my old form used to send email to me of the clent data as well as a confirmation email email to the client.
The new script i have manged some how to send a confirmation email for the client, but I don't know how send email with this script, can you tell me what I should add to make it work?

Answer 1

if i understand exactly your question. you were able to send the email to your client but you want to send it also to you.
if this the case then. add another receptionist$mail->AddAddress($visitor_email, "MY_CLIENT");
EDIT:
first get red of the second line.
if($mail->Send()){$message = "ALL REQUIRED DATA YOU WANT TO SEND TO YOURSELF";$mail->AddAddress('YOUREMAIL#EXAMPLE.COM', "MINE");if($mail->Send()){header('Location: thank-you.html');exit;}}
