multiple recipients mailform

hey everyone !
This is the code of my mailform:

Code:

---

<?php

if ($_POST["action"] == "send"){

if ($_POST[name] != "je naam" and $_POST[name] != "" and $_POST[email] != "je e-mail adres" and $_POST[email] != "" and $_POST[message] != "") {

mail ("info@cecicasariego.com", "via website hetbestevoordeel",
"
Naam: ".$_POST['name']."
E-mail: ".$_POST['email']."
Message: ".$_POST['message']."

",
"From: ".$_POST['name']." <".$_POST['email'].">");

$subject = "je bericht aan hetbestevoordeel.be";

$msg = "

Dit is een automatisch verzonden email. Gelieve hierop niet te antwoorden.

Beste $_POST[name],

Bedankt voor je bericht aan hetbestevoordeel.be
We zullen je zo snel mogelijk beantwoorden.

Dit was je bericht:
$_POST[message]
";

$headers = "hetbestevoordeel.be";

mail($_POST[email], $subject, $msg, $headers);

echo '<p align="center"><font color="#003366">Je bericht is goed verzonden<br>en je zult een bevestiging ontvangen.<br>We beantwoorden je zo snel mogelijk.</font></p>';

}

//Indien problemen
else{
echo '<p align="center"><font color="#FF0000">Gelieve alle gegevens in te vullen!</font></p><p><a href="contact.html">[terug]</a>';

}
}
?>

How can I add multiple recipients ? I tried this, but didn't work:

Code:

---

mail ("info@cecicasariego.com, jurgen.schepers@euphonynet.be", "via website hetbestevoordeel",

---

PHP Code:

---

$rec = array("info@cecicasariego.com", "jurgen.schepers@euphonynet.be");
$from = 'myemail@mydomain.com';
$subject = 'My Subject';
$body = 'Hello there';
foreach ($rec as $r) {
  mail($r,$subject,$body,"From: $from") or die('Error sending mail.');
} 


---

Also, as $r you could just use multiple addresses separated by commas, like:
1@1.1, 2@2.2, 3@3.3

Or, even:
<name1> 1@1.1, <name2> 2@2.2

Though these formats (or a mix of both) are valid according to the official standards, it seems some mail servers might not support them, so you would want to test your server to see if it works.

Code:

---

$rec = array("info@cecicasariego.com", "jurgen.schepers@euphonynet.be");
$from = 'myemail@mydomain.com';
$subject = 'My Subject';
$body = 'Hello there';
foreach ($rec as $r) {
  mail($r,$subject,$body,"From: $from") or die('Error sending mail.');
}

---

Seems that this a totally different code.
So if I wish just to adapt my code, I do the following:

Code:

---

<?php

if ($_POST["action"] == "send"){

if ($_POST[name] != "je naam" and $_POST[name] != "" and $_POST[email] != "je e-mail adres" and $_POST[email] != "" and $_POST[message] != "") {

mail ("info@cecicasariego.com","jurgen@euphonynet.be", "via website hetbestevoordeel", "
Naam: ".$_POST['name']."
E-mail: ".$_POST['email']."
Message: ".$_POST['message']."

",
"From: ".$_POST['name']." <".$_POST['email'].">");

$subject = "je bericht aan hetbestevoordeel.be";

$msg = "

Dit is een automatisch verzonden email. Gelieve hierop niet te antwoorden.

Beste $_POST[name],

Bedankt voor je bericht aan hetbestevoordeel.be
We zullen je zo snel mogelijk beantwoorden.

Dit was je bericht:
$_POST[message]
";

$headers = "hetbestevoordeel.be";

mail($_POST[email], $subject, $msg, $headers);

echo '<p align="center"><font color="#003366">Je bericht is goed verzonden<br>en je zult een bevestiging ontvangen.<br>We beantwoorden je zo snel mogelijk.</font></p>';

}

//Indien problemen
else{
echo '<p align="center"><font color="#FF0000">Gelieve alle gegevens in te vullen!</font></p><p><a href="contact.html">[terug]</a>';

}
}
?>

---

Correct ?

Hm, it should work just separating them with commas:

Code:

---

'fish@fish.com, lion@lion.com, pigeon@pigeon.com'

Hi, Chechu!

Try my own script i wrote for my administrationpanel,

Create a .lib file called, "messenger.lib", add paste following code:

This is very usefull and very very powerfull script when you will send away email with PHP!

PS! Make sure those files are in thesame directory!!

Hopes this code was usefull for U, ;) .

Best regards,
mbrodin

Try this:
(I modified your code to send multiple addresses)

PHP Code:

---

<?php

if ($_POST["action"] == "send"){

if ($_POST[name] != "je naam" and $_POST[name] != "" and $_POST[email] != "je e-mail adres" and $_POST[email] != "" and $_POST[message] != "") { 

//PUT SENDERS HERE!
$rec = array("info@cecicasariego.com", "jurgen.schepers@euphonynet.be");
//END
$from = $_POST['name']. '<'. $_POST['email'] . '>';
$subject = "je bericht aan hetbestevoordeel.be"; 

$msg = "

Dit is een automatisch verzonden email. Gelieve hierop niet te antwoorden.

Beste $_POST[name],

Bedankt voor je bericht aan hetbestevoordeel.be 
We zullen je zo snel mogelijk beantwoorden.

Dit was je bericht:
$_POST[message] 
"; 

foreach ($rec as $r) {
  $email = mail($r,$subject,$body,"From: $from");
}

if ($email) {
echo '<p align="center"><font color="#003366">Je bericht is goed verzonden<br>en je zult een bevestiging ontvangen.<br>We beantwoorden je zo snel mogelijk.</font></p>';
}

//Indien problemen
else{
echo '<p align="center"><font color="#FF0000">Gelieve alle gegevens in te vullen!</font></p><p><a href="contact.html">[terug]</a>';
}

}}
?>

That one didn't work.
Twey, it doesn' seem to work just separating the commas, as the second mailadress becomes subject.
Mbrodin: can't use your script, as I have the following in it:

Code:

---

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function clearDefault(el) {
if (el.defaultValue==el.value) el.value = ""
}
</script>

---

Then you're doing something wrong. It's a comma-separated string, not a list of arguments:

Code:

---

"recipient1, recipient2, recipient3"

---

not

Code:

---

"recipient1", "recipient2", "recipient3"

---

Good day, Chechu!

This javascript, isn't that only to make the default value on the forms blank, before the user print their name? This shouldn't have anything with the php-script to do! Is it so that you maybe has the form in thesame page as the "php-script"? If so, you only implement it into the script, and if "action" is equal with "send", you only check that all required inputs is filled, if not you show the form again and info about the error! If all forms is complete you send it. I can copy the code and show how I mean!

;)

That will reject many perfectly valid email addresses, such as fish@lion.co.uk or john.smith@example.com.

Hi, Twey!

No, it does not that!
I have already test all kind of email addresses, and it's works perfectly.

When I tested your example of emails it passed and was no wrong at it!

Best regards,
mbrodin

It definitely shouldn't. [:alnum:] should match only alphanumerical characters, a set which does not include the full stop.

Twey, it doesn' seem to work just separating the commas, as the second mailadress becomes subject.
Mbrodin: can't use your script, as I have the following in it:

Code:

---

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function clearDefault(el) {
if (el.defaultValue==el.value) el.value = ""
}
</script>

Hmm...
Try this:

PHP Code:

---

<?php
$htmlmess = 'Unexpected Error while sending email.';
if ($_POST['action'] == 'send'){

    if ($_POST['name'] != "je naam" && trim($_POST['name']) != "" && $_POST['email'] != "je e-mail adres" && trim($_POST['email']) != "" && trim($_POST['message']) != "") { 

        //PUT SENDERS HERE!
        $rec = array('info@cecicasariego.com', 'jurgen.schepers@euphonynet.be');
        //END
        $from = $_POST['name'] . '<'. $_POST['email'] . '>';
        $subject = "je bericht aan hetbestevoordeel.be"; 
        
        $msg = "
        Dit is een automatisch verzonden email. Gelieve hierop niet te antwoorden.
        
        Beste {$_POST[name]},
        
        Bedankt voor je bericht aan hetbestevoordeel.be 
        We zullen je zo snel mogelijk beantwoorden.
        
        Dit was je bericht:
        {$_POST[message]}
        "; 

        foreach ($rec as $r) {
          $email = mail($r,$subject,$body,"From: $from");
        }
        
        if ($email) {
            $htmlmess = '<p style="color:#003366;text-align:center;">Je bericht is goed verzonden<br>en je zult een bevestiging ontvangen.<br>We beantwoorden je zo snel mogelijk.</p>';
        }
        //Indien problemen
        else{
            $htmlmess = '<p style="color:#FF0000;text-align:center;">Gelieve alle gegevens in te vullen!</p><p><a href="contact.html">[terug]</a>';
        }
    }
}

I've tested this code, and it appears to be working.

Then you're doing something wrong. It's a comma-separated string, not a list of arguments:
Code:
"recipient1, recipient2, recipient3"

That one indeed seems to work, but not with all mailadresses. Could that have something to do with spamfilters or php acceptance ?
How c

to continue previoous message ...:
How can I place another mailadres as BCC ?

You need to specify it manually in the POP headers (fourth argument).

Probably the former.

I'm not sure why having multiple email addresses would set off spam filters, specifically.

Look up the mail function on php.net if you need more info on the additional headers. It can be a lot to remember and the page explains it well.
