I have a script that sends an email to a friend. I would like it to CC the sender as well on the email. This is the script:

<?
include "PHP_Lib.php";
$subject = $HTTP_GET_VARS["Subject"];
mail("$Recipient_Email","Interesting IT Training URL","Dear $Recipient_First_Name,

I thought that you might be interested in this link: $message.

Thanks,
$Contact_First_Name $Contact_Last_Name",
"From:$Contact_First_Name $Contact_Last_Name\r\n",
"CC:$Contact_Email");
?>

The file "PHP_Lib.php" contains information to send another email to us for database information. the CC doesnt seem to want to work. What can I do?

Thanks!

Jody

Perhaps this will help...

Quote: The Windows implementation of mail() differs in many ways from the Unix implementation. First, it doesn't use a local binary for composing messages but only operates on direct sockets which means a MTA is needed listening on a network socket (which can either on the localhost or a remote machine). Second, the custom headers like From:, Cc:, Bcc: and Date: are not interpreted by the MTA in the first place, but are parsed by PHP. PHP < 4.3 only supported the Cc: header element (and was case-sensitive). PHP >= 4.3 supports all the mentioned header elements and is no longer case-sensitive.

all your header info should have \r\n at the end even the last one
