hey all...

i'm working on a script that will allow a client to send a message to a 
mailing list that is pulled out of a database.  i've got the script working 
just fine, though it needs a little tweak here and there. essentially, i 
pull the e-mails out of a database, put them all into one string, and then 
stick that string into the "to" field using php's mail() 
function.  however, in the e-mail the recipient gets, all of the e-mail 
addresses are viewable in the "to:" field.  is there some way to hide those 
e-mail addresses?

I stole this from the above link......
And massaged for your needs.

<?php

// switch the value of $email to the
// persons email address you are sending
// this to.

$email = "username at myisp.com";
$subject = "Working PHP v4.0b4 mail script";

$body = "Um, looks good from here.";

$headers = "From: mymailer at mydomain.com\n";
$headers .= "Reply-to: noreply at mydomain.com\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: username at myisp.com\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: username at myisp.com\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: username at myisp.com\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: username at myisp.com\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";


mail ($email, $subject, $body, $headers);

echo "schweeeeeet.....its workin'";
?>
