How to send form data to multiple email addresses using PHP? - php

Question

I am a web designer, and dont really know much about PHP. I have a form, and I want the values to be sent to three email addresses.
Here is my HTML:
<form id="player" method="post" action="process.php">
<label for="name">Your Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" title="Enter your name" class="required">
<label for="phone">Daytime Phone</label>
<input type="tel" name="phone" class="required">
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="email" name="email" title="Enter your e-mail address" class="required email">
<input type="submit" name="submit" class="button" id="submit" value="I'd like to join Now" />
</form>
I have somehow found a PHP code that should send the data to ONE email address only, but I dont even know if it works or not.
Here is the code for that:
<?php
// Get Data
$name = strip_tags($_POST['name']);
$email = strip_tags($_POST['email']);
$phone = strip_tags($_POST['phone']);
$url = strip_tags($_POST['url']);
$message = strip_tags($_POST['message']);
// Send Message
mail( "you#youremail.com", "Contact Form Submission",
"Name: $name\nEmail: $email\nPhone: $phone\nWebsite: $url\nMessage: $message\n",
"From: Forms <forms#example.net>" );
?>
Thanks

Answer 1

Add headers
<?php
// Get Data
$name = strip_tags($_POST['name']);
$email = strip_tags($_POST['email']);
$phone = strip_tags($_POST['phone']);
$url = strip_tags($_POST['url']);
$message = strip_tags($_POST['message']);
$headers .="From: Forms <forms#example.net>";
$headers .="CC: Mail1 <Mail1#example.net>";
$headers .=", Mail2 <Mail2#example.net>";
// Send Message
mail( "you#youremail.com", "Contact Form Submission",
"Name: $name\nEmail: $email\nPhone: $phone\nWebsite: $url\nMessage: $message\n",
$headers );
?>

Answer 2

You should be able to separate email addresses with commas in the first parameter of the mail() function, i.e.
mail('email1#example.com, email2#example.com', $subject, $message, $headers);
Or sepcific CC and optionally BCC addresses as per Ahmad's answer.

Answer 3

The mail function (which is used in the code that you posted) allows you to specify multiple recipients. See the PHP documentation of that function for details: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
Edit: You basically need to replace the "you#youremail.com" part with a list of addresses, separated by commas, e.g.:
mail("you#youremail.com,somebody#domain.com,anotherone#domain.com", ...

Answer 4

use
$to = "email#email.com"
$to .= ", anotheremail#email.com";
this will help you to create multiple recipient.
