Hi all -

I took the simpleform from the site and have modified it a bit to allow the user to choose who receives the email.
I also wanted to add a 'CC' if possible.

Here is the code:



<?php

$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email']));
$EmailTo = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Recipient']));
$EmailCc = \"MYEMAIL@gmail.com\";
$Subject = \"TEST Contact\";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Tel = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Tel'])); 
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); 

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print \"<meta http-equiv=\\"refresh\\" content=\\"0;URL=error.htm\\">\";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = \"\";
$Body .= \"Name: \";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= \"\n\";
$Body .= \"Tel: \";
$Body .= $Tel;
$Body .= \"\n\";
$Body .= \"Email: \";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= \"\n\";
$Body .= \"Message: \";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= \"\n\";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, \"From: <$EmailFrom>\");

// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
  print \"<meta http-equiv=\\"refresh\\" content=\\"0;URL=contactthanks.php\\">\";
}
else{
  print \"<meta http-equiv=\\"refresh\\" content=\\"0;URL=error.htm\\">\";
}
?>

I added this little snippet as i thought it may send the second email, but it didn't work.

$EmailCc = \"MYEMAIL@gmail.com\";

Maybe I should just modify the '$EmailTo' variable, but i'm not too proficient in php.

$EmailTo = \"UREMAIL@EMAIL.COM, \".Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Recipient']));

if you want to carbon copy just do this:


$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, \"From: <$EmailFrom>\");

// redirect to success page
if ($success){
  //copy to someone else
  mail(newaddress@newaddress.com, $Subject, $Body, \"From: <$EmailFrom>\");
  print \"<meta http-equiv=\\"refresh\\" content=\\"0;URL=contactthanks.php\\">\";
}

All you need to do is pass the CC in the last variable of mail();



<?php

$header  = \"From: $EmailFrom\r\n\";
$header .= \"CC: otheremail@*website*.com\r\n\"; 
$header .= \"BCC: yetanotheremail@*website*.com\r\n\"; 

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, $header);

?>

Enjoy,

Sorry about the double post, but I forgot to mention.

It's good practice to always send the email from the domain that your server is on and use a replyto instead.

<?php

$header  = \"From: server@thisdomain.com\r\n\";
$header  .= \"Replyto: $EmailFrom\r\n\";

$header .= \"CC: otheremail@*website*.com\r\n\";
$header .= \"BCC: yetanotheremail@*website*.com\r\n\";

// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, $header);

?>
