secret forward
I have a section where users can send a link to a friend but I don't know how to forward that info onto myself so that they cannot see it (using BCC I believe). This is part of what I have (below) but of course it doesn't do what I want. Can someone feed me the missing link or advise me on what I'm doing wrong.
PHP Code:$to = "$toEmail";
$bcc = myemail@hostage.com
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $bcc);

Use
More info: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.phpPHP Code:$to = $toEmail . ", myemail@hostage.com";

Well I've resolved that issue - I am now onto something else. . .
I have a name field whereby users enter the name of the friend they wish to refer and they are greeted with - " Hi $toName, blah blah...". However if the user enters multiple email addresses (separating them with commas) to refer more than one person they are all greeted with the same name. The user cannot simply separate the name with a comma. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how they can each be greeted with their individual names? in thanks

Use arrays.
If you list what the vars are I could show you what I mean.

I think you understand what I mean with the names so -here's the code:
PHP Code:<?php
// Create local PHP variables from the info the user gave in the Flash form -disabled message field
$toName = $_POST['toName'];
$toEmail = $_POST['toEmail'];
$fromEmail = $_POST['fromEmail'];
// Strip slashes on the Local variables -disabled message field
$toName = stripslashes($toName);
$toEmail = stripslashes($toEmail);
$fromEmail = stripslashes($fromEmail);
$to = $toEmail;
$from = $fromEmail;
$subject = "title";
//Begin HTML Email Message
$message = <<<EOF
<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<b>Hi $toName,<br />
<b> check this out !! <br />
<b> <a href="http://website.com</a><br />
<b> <br />
</body>
</html>
EOF;
//end of message
$headers = "From: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: myaddress@host.com";
$to = "$to";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
exit();
?>

Ok well I can modify your script to have it put only 1 name per email message but that would require having separate mail() statements for each person.

Can we do that because I've messed about with that a little and it didn't seem to like it, e.g. even putting two identical doesn't work:
how do you suggest we do it?PHP Code:mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Have you tried adding wait/sleep commands in between the mail commands, anti-spam scripts would block a script that tries to mail near perfect copies to serveral emails at once.

wait/sleep commands - how do I do that? will it do the job?
x10 Elder
in php use
sleep($int);
where $int is the time you want to wait in seconds, try using 1 here
