Hi,

I like to put a Bcc into a mail function. I haven’t find an example for this yet.
How can I make this work?

Thanks in advance

Ron

Hi There,
Someone a hint for me?

Hi,

AppGini's sendMail-function in incFunction.php does not support CC or BCC, yet (Ver. 5.75), allthough the PHPMailer class being used, does. I have asked Ahmed to support CC and BCC. I think it's on his roadmap.

In between I have solved it this way:

1. Copy the sendMail-function from incFunction.php
2. Paste it in one of your PHP files and give it a different name (important!), for example sendMailEx
3. Check the PHPMailer documentation here:
   https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
4. Change the new sendMailEx-function:
   below...

   Code: Select all

   $pm->addAddress($mail['to'], $mail['name']);
   

   ...add something like...

   Code: Select all

   if ($mail['bcc]) $pm->addBCC($mail['bcc']);
   if ($mail['cc']) $pm->addCC($mail['cc']);
   

5. In your calling function, add the BCC recipient to your $mail-array like this:

   Code: Select all

   $mail['bcc'] = "[email protected]";
   

6. Now you can call the new sendMailEx-function:

   Code: Select all

   sendMailEx($mail);
   

That should do the trick for now. Hope this helps!

Best,
Jan

PS: If you need more than one bcc- or cc-recipient, you can for example add a comma-separated list like this... ...and in your sendMailEx-function, split the string using PHP explode-function (https://www.php.net/manual/de/function.explode.php) and add each address using $pm->addCC($item);

Hi Jan,
Thanks for the answers. As I"m not that familiar with PHP, I"ll give it a try.
I"m off the street now for a while
