  • 0

I am using this script to send notificaitons to users friends. the problem is that all recepieints get to see who else got this email. How do i tweak the code so the emails still get sent to all but they can’t see who else got it?

Code:

    $sql = "SELECT STRAIGHT_JOIN DISTINCT email from
    friend_email_ids WHERE my_id='$id'";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);

    $query = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Error: ".mysql_error());

    if ($result == "")
    {
    echo "";
    }
     echo "";


   $rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
   $emails = array(); 

   if($rows == 0)
   {
   print("");

    }
   elseif($rows > 0)
   {
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query))
        array_push($emails, $row['email']);

   {

   $email = $row['email'];


  print("");
  }

  }

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $usermail\r\n";
$subject = "$full_name added";
$message = "<html><body>";
$message .= "Hello, <br><br>$full_name posted someth<br><br>";
$message .= "<a href=www.domain.com/signup.php?t=&sign=>Click here.</a><br><br>";
$message .= "</body></html>";
mail(implode(",", $emails), "Subject: $subject",
$message, "$headers" );
echo "";

    Use the additional_headers fields to add a BCC* address . See the manual

    From the manual page:

    // Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Mary <mary@example.com>, Kelly <kelly@example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday@example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: birthdayarchive@example.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: birthdaycheck@example.com' . "\r\n";

// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

    the “birthdaycheck” email is hidden.

    *(Blind Carbon Copy)

    In you script it would become something like this:

    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $usermail\r\n";

////////////pay attention here
$headers .= "BCC: ".implode(",", $emails)."\r\n";
$to = "youremail@domain.com"; //the mail in the "TO", visible to all. there has to be 1.
////////////////////////

$subject = "$full_name added";
$message = "<html><body>";
$message .= "Hello, <br><br>$full_name posted someth<br><br>";
$message .= "<a href=www.domain.com/signup.php?t=&sign=>Click here.</a><br><br>";
$message .= "</body></html>";

mail($to, "Subject: $subject",
$message, "$headers" );
echo "";
