Your call to mail is passing the $to as the to parameter meaning those emails will be be in the to header try passing an empty string instead. You are passing the info into the bcc header so the email should still get to them that way.
That is because you have put all the users in the "to" line. You are also passing them into the "bcc" line too so just doing this may help you but as far as I know you need at least one address in the to line (although this may not be the case). It'll look pretty strange for each person doing it that way though.
The best way to avoid these issues would be to send the email multiple times, once to each user. To modify your code example to do this, I'd do something like the following:
$toAddresses = array("mial#live.com", "mail#yahoo.com");
$subject = "Mini-mass Emailer";
$message = "<a href='#'>Hello World</a>";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Your Name <me#mydomain.com>' . "\r\n";
foreach ($toAddresses as $to) {
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo "OK - sent message to {$to}";
}
}
The easiest way is to take this Mail-Class of phpguru.org:
http://www.phpguru.org/static/htmlMimeMail5
There you can specify with setBcc() the addresses which should be "blind", it's pretty easy and works well. I use this class in every project.
Best Regards.

my php mail() function is not working even its right here it is
$to = $email_id;
$sub = "FORGOT PASSWORD";
$msg = $password;
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Your name <example#gmail.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$mail= mail($to,$sub,$msg,$headers);
if($mail)
{
?>
<script>alert('Your password has been successfully sent to you');</script>
<?
}
else
{
?>
<script>alert('Please try again later');</script>
<?
}
its alert if part i.e. Your password has been successfully sent to you but i did not received any email please help me and i am not using any HTML css in sending this mail.
your headers are incorrect use your headers in this way it will resolved your problem getting true part is not a big deal
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Your name <example#you_domain_name.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
if not resolved give me the result you get using var_dump($mail); showing bool(true)
use
$mail= mail($to, $sub, $msg, $headers);
You dont need string as all variables are Already string.
Use this mail($to, $sub, $msg, $headers),
If it returns true, then check your spam folder.
Write your domain name
$headers .= 'From: Your name <example#yorudomainname>' . "\r\n";
example <example#stackoverflow.com/>
no need to use "" in the mail function if you are storing it in a variable allready.
second thing check what you are getting in $email_id; variable is it the correct email address you are trying to send email .
simply use like this
<?php
$to = $email_id;
$sub = "FORGOT PASSWORD";
$msg = $password;
$headers = "From: webmaster#example.com" . "\r\n" .
"CC: somebodyelse#example.com";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$mail=mail($to,$sub,$msg ,$headers);
if($mail)
{
?>
<script>alert('Your password has been successfully sent to you');</script>
<?
}
else
{
?>
<script>alert('Please try again later');</script>
<?
}
?>
Update
also please check your spam folder. as if you are using other domain as from email these emails may go to the spam folder . or you can use these headers
$headers = "From: webmaster#example.com" . "\r\n" .
"CC: somebodyelse#yourdimain.com"; // enter your domain email
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
Im trying to remember a trick i was taught a while back but can not.
Basically, im using PHP mail() in this fashion:
$to = "emailAddress1#domain.com";
$subject = "Welcome to BuildSanctuary";
$messageContent = "Thankyou for registering Bla bla bla";
$message = 'SOME HTML EMAIL STUFF including the $messageContent var';
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To:' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Accounts<accounts#domain.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: emailAddress1#domain.com,emailAddress2#domain.com,emailAddress3#domain.com,emailAddress4#domain.com' . "\r\n";
// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
I got told a while back that there was a way that you could put your own email in the to field, but when the users receive the emails it looks like they were personally sent the email and the to field shows just their email.
Is this possible? Cant think how.
Thanks.
Why does this send emails?
$from_admin = $_POST[EMAIL];
$message_admin = 'some html...';
mail($to_admin,"subject",$message_admin,"FROM:$from_admin");
This email looks like it came from my gmail account.
While this doesn't send the email.
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'To:' . $to . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Registration <register#myserver.org>' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
When I contacted my hosting support, they said that I need to do SMTP authentication. But, then why does the first mail function work? I would be ok if its not actually using that server, but people can reply the the html email and still reach the correct account. Is there any way around this?
I am quite new to PHP and am experimenting with an online ordering website in php. I have come across a problem when trying to send a confirmation email using a 'cc'.
Every time an order is processed, the order always sends to the 'CC' address specified as the '$from' and the sender (the from) is what is specified in the '$to' section. In the email confirmation received, it only displays the from section and the 'to' and 'cc' are empty as demonstrated below:
From: **$_SESSION['od_email']**
To: *This space is empty*
CC: orders#business.co.uk
Can anyone help to point out where I am going wrong? I have attached the code below.
//THIS IS CODE FOR THE EMAIL WHICH IS AUTOMATICALLY SENT TO THE CUSTOMER AND THE BUSINESS WHEN AN ORDER IS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED
//define the receiver of the email
$to = $_SESSION['od_email'];
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Order Confirmation | Ref No for Order: '. $_SESSION['orderId'];
//define the message to be sent. Each line should be separated with \n
$message = 'test';
//Who the message is from
$from = "orders#business.co.uk";
$cc = "orders#business.co.uk";
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From:" . $from;
//bcc header going to the to go to the business as confirmation
$headers = "cc:" . $cc;
//send the email
$mail_sent = #mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
What I need for it to show is:
From: **orders#business.co.uk**
To: **$_SESSION['od_email'];**
CC: **orders#business.co.uk**
Thanks in advance for any help given
When you're going to set the CC, you're overwriting what was in $headers. Try:
$headers = "From:" . $from . "\r\n";
$headers.= "Cc:" . $cc;
And if that doesn't help, there's always PHP's documentation on mail.
I would go all out with your headers and make sure you set everything you need to,
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: ' .$to. "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: ' .$from. "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: '.$cc. "\r\n";
also, I believe mail() needs a valid email address, I do not know how you have the email set before $_SESSION['od_email'] but if you are running a test and literally expecting $_SESSION['od_email'] to come with it that wont work, it will see it as a not valid email and return false, thus returning nothing. To further diagnose that problem tho we would need to know how $_SESSION['od_email'] is setup
EDIT
Okay I am pretty sure the issue is caused how you are setting up $_SESSION['od_email]' based on your comment below.
Note: I am assuming your database is $db, but if not you need to change $db to the prober name
Let's try this and see how it works
// Get Data from the Database
$query = "SELECT `od_email` FROM `tbl_order`";
$result = $db->query($query);
while ($data = $db->fetch_array($result)) {
// Set Up the SESSION email
$_SESSION['od_email'] = $data['od_email'];
// Prepare the Email
$to = $_SESSION['od_email'];
$subject = 'Order Confirmation | Ref No for Order: '. $_SESSION['orderId'];
$message = 'test';
$from = "orders#business.co.uk";
$cc = "orders#business.co.uk";
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: ' .$to. "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: ' .$from. "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: '.$cc. "\r\n";
// Send the email
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
}
Couldn't he just add an #mail ? such as...
$mail_sent = #mail( $od_email, $subject, $message, $headers );
or
mail( $od_email, $subject, $message, $headers );
Replacing any variables.
Always worked for me.
I know this is simple but my brain is fried from trying to solve a different problem!
I'm using php's mail function to email the user. Below is my code. See the a href link, how do I get this to display as an actual link within the php?
$email=someone#example.com;
$content= "Dear Whoever,
NB: Please click here to read and download the terms and conditions.";
mail( "$email", "Welcome", $content, "From: support#example.com");
As noted above, your code has error. It should be:
email='someone#example.com';
$content= "Dear Whoever,
NB: Please click here to read and download the terms and conditions.";
mail( $email, "Welcome", $content, "From: support#example.com");
You would need to set the mime type to HTML in the header, and use it as a parameter in the mail() function.
From the manual
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Mary <mary#example.com>, Kelly <kelly#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: birthdayarchive#example.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: birthdaycheck#example.com' . "\r\n";
// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
Though I usually use SwiftMailer and it has other neat features.
