I know that the code to send an email to multiple addresses is:

$to = "ADDRESS1, ADDRESS2 \r\n";
$headers .= "CC: ADDRESS3 \r\n";
$headers .= "BCC: ADDRESS4 \r\n";

And I know that you can add a reply-to address with:

$headers .= "Reply-To: ADDRESS5, ADDRESS6 \r\n";

My question is...what code to use for the reply-to fields so that you can add a CC and BCC. I've tried:

$headers .= "Reply-To: ADDRESS5 \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-CC: ADDRESS6\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-BCC: ADDRESS7\r\n";

And I've tried:

$headers .= "Reply-To: ADDRESS5 \r\n";
$headers .= "CC: ADDRESS6\r\n";
$headers .= "BCC: ADDRESS7\r\n";

Nothing's worked so far. Any thoughts?

rproffitt,

Thanks for the response. Apologies for not clarifying the first two statements. Let me try this again.

I have an HTML form that, when the Submit button is clicked, an email is sent using PHP. The code below successfully sends an email to multiple addresses...two addresses in the TO field, one address in the CC field and one address in the BCC field:

$to = "ADDRESS1, ADDRESS2 \r\n";
$headers .= "CC: ADDRESS3 \r\n";
$headers .= "BCC: ADDRESS4 \r\n";

When the email is received, the code below successfully adds one or more addresses in the TO field automatically:

$headers .= "Reply-To: ADDRESS5, ADDRESS6 \r\n";

I know the codes above work because I've tested them multiple times. The problem is that I want to not only automatically put addresses in the TO field, I want to put addresses in the CC & BCC fields. I've tried...

$headers .= "Reply-To: ADDRESS5 \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-CC: ADDRESS6\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-BCC: ADDRESS7\r\n";

...and I've tried...

$headers .= "Reply-To: ADDRESS5 \r\n";
$headers .= "CC: ADDRESS6\r\n";
$headers .= "BCC: ADDRESS7\r\n";

...but neither option works. Is is possible to automatically add addresses to the CC and/or BCC fields automatically using the Reply-To command in PHP?

@egoche - I've corrected your code formatting twice. I won't do it again. Please use the code block tool </> to insert code.
