Sending form results to multiple recipients

Need to send a copy of form results to your business partner? To your friend? To someone helping you with a project? So, how do you send the e-mail with form results to multiple recipients?

The answer is: easy! All you need to do is separate multiple e-mail addresses in the PHP mail() function (remember the Form to Mail tutorial?) with a comma ( , ).

As shown before to send an e-mail to john@doe.com you would use this PHP code:

mail("john@doe.com", "Test e-mail", "Hi, this is a test message!");

Now if you wanted to send a copy of the same e-mail also to jane@mail.com and frank@domain.com you would just use all three (separated with a comma) as the first parameter in the mail() function:

"john@doe.com , jane@mail.com , frank@domain.com"

Now the code would look like this:

mail("john@doe.com , marry@mail.com , frank@domain.com",
"Test e-mail", "Hi, this is a test message!");

That's it!
