$headers = 'bcc: kathyandrews@xxxxxxxxxxxxx';

Works but corrupts the "from" portion and changes it to "nobody"
Which I think goes back too the smtp portion.

There is no bcc: header. BCC'ing someone is normally done by sending them
the email without listing them explicitly in to: or cc:.

Well, since

http://forums.hostmysite.com/about1171.html

states

$headers .= "CC: service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\r\n";

Which does not work for me AT ALL and Stut called me a du3b-@ss for doing
it, I am assuming that all this key wording on google is not going to and
the problem appears to be else where!

I don't believe I did that at all (if I did can someone else please let
me know - it's never my intention).

Since you don't seem willing to properly read my original reply to you,
the one with the answer in it, I give up. I wish your professor luck.

Since it is not in the assignment, find out how to do things within the
parameters of your assignment.

http://www.google.com
php: {issue}

Googling "PHP: mail bcc" (sans quotes) has 5 viable workings on how to do
it. If it fails, then you need to be examing the php.ini file for
information or talking with the server admins as to what piece is wrong.
Also, if you are error checking your own stuff, then the error log should
be
able to tell you what has failed out.

I'm glad your professor is teaching you how to learn, but shouldn't this
be
something you should be able to do already?

And wasn't this whole thing started with you looking for something that
you
were "already too much money into" to change for the next roll-out? So
now
you are fessing up to trying to get the PHP board to do your assignments
for
you?

I sure hope your instructor is on this board too...

Implementing Bcc and smtp.
"Here we go again"

#1 email is only being sent to a few recipients.

I need to implement

$smtp = ?localhost?;

Somewhere, but I keep getting parse errors?
Those are not normal quotes, but I'm guessing you actually typed that in
the evil that is Outlook.

#2 trying to do a Bcc but that gives me parse errors as well

It should be as easy as?

$Bcc ?some@xxxxxxxxxxx?; $eol = "\r\n";
That's not valid code. Ok, the second bit is, but still rather pointless.

Here is the working code, but if I implement the above needed inserts
anywhere, I get a big ?ol fat parse error

Any assistance would be truly appreciated.

An explanation of why would really help since this is for a school
project.

Ahh, suddenly everything becomes clear. You can't use PHPMailer because
that would mean that you didn't learn it yourself you just used somebody
elses work. So instead you ask here rather than reading the PHPMailer
source code. Nice.

Working code as is:

<?

$email = $_REQUEST['email'];

$fromaddress = 'admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

$fromname = 'Zone of success Club'; $eol = "\r\n";

$headers = 'From: '.$fromname.' <'.$fromaddress.'>'.$eol;

// $headers = 'bcc: 'kathyandrews@xxxxxxxxxxxxx';
This should work. However, because you're assigning this to $headers
rather than concatenating it you're trampling over the From line above.

BTW, Bcc usually has a capital letter. Probably wouldn't cause any
problems but has the potential to stop it working.

$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$fromname.' <'.$fromaddress.'>'.$eol;

$headers .= 'Return-Path: '.$fromname.' <'.$fromaddress.'>'.$eol;

$headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP '.phpversion().$eol;

$headers .= 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'.$eol;

$headers .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit';

$subject = 'Your free book!';

$body = '<a

href="http://www.zoneofsuccessclub.com/freePDF/autopilotebook.pdf";>"Click
ME"</a> Here is your FREE autopilot book!!!!';
"Click ME" indeed. I'm guessing this isn't an HCI course you're doing.

mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);

?>
Try the veal.
