I'm sorry, but if you have to ask this question you need to get
yourself a tutor - the intent of this mailing list is not that.

This is a new trick for me, can you kindly explain?
I know what you are getting at, I am just not real sure on th
method?

Do I just replace "mail" and the end with print?
Aka
mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);
with
print($email, $subject, $body, $headers);

??

well, you need to do some basic debugging.

a) replace your mail() function with print statements and review the
output to make certain that it is correct. [this will require that
you look at appropriate documentation to see how message
headers/body should be formatted.]

b) if "a)" looks right, then look at your mail server's logs to see
what shows up there.

It makes sense, but the Bcc is still not making it through.

Not sure if the smtp portion is correct either.
No parse errors, but no email from the bcc either.

<?
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$fromaddress = 'admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$fromname = 'Zone of success Club'; $eol = "\r\n";
$smtp = "localhost";
$headers = 'From: '.$fromname.' <'.$fromaddress.'>'.$eol;
$headers .= 'Bcc: webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'; $eol = "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$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!';
$body = '<a
href="http://www.ggggggggggggg.com/freePDF/autopilotebook.pdf";>"Cli
ck ME"</a> Here is your FREE autopilot book!!!!';
mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);
?>

I will refrain from the rest of the posts/slams and stick to your
question in the (...).

"From" and "Bcc" are *BOTH* part of the headers - that's why you
want to concatenate them. By not using the . (dot), you are
over-writing the "From" line.

Bad/Pointless assignment:
$headers = "From: ...";
$headers = "Bcc: ...";

Good/Useful assignment:
$headers = "From: ...";
$headers .= "Bcc: ...";

Good luck.
