How to add multiple mail address in cc php mail

Question

Here is my code

$form_message .= "Application_Comments" . "\r\n";
ini_set('your_email', 'testsupport@example.com');
$to = "xyz@gmail.com";
$subject = "Collaboration";
$your_email = 'testsupport@example.com';
$headers  = "From: $your_email" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Cc:abc@yahoo.com,efg@gmail.com"."\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $your_email" . "\r\n";

if(mail($to,$subject,$form_message,$headers))
{
    echo " Delete Mail Sent Successfully";
}
else
{
    echo "Delete Mail not sent";
}

if I execute above code I am not receiving any mail even 'To' mail is also not getting.

If I use one mail address in cc I am getting mail, but 'To' mail was not received

can any one help me on this?

Could it be that gmail addresses are denying the message or identifying them as spam? Check your mail log. — Progrock, Aug 16 '16 at 15:54
@Progrock Without cc mail is receiving properly still if I put cc in headers it's working fine but I can add only one. — R9102, Aug 16 '16 at 17:07
Again, what's the ini_set line for? Did you check your mail log? — Progrock, Aug 16 '16 at 21:14

You should consider using the popular PHPMailer class to handle email needs in PHP. It makes sending emails with multiple TOs, CCs, BCCs and REPLY-TOs easily achieved. It even let's you easily add attachments to your emails. Download the ZIP from Github, and extract it to the directory it will be used in.

<?php
require '/path/to/PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer;

//$mail->SMTPDebug = 3;                               // Enable verbose debug output

$mail->isSMTP();                                      // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com';  // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'user@example.com';                 // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'secret';                           // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                            // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587;                                    // TCP port to connect to

$mail->setFrom('from@example.com', 'Mailer');
$mail->addAddress('joe@example.net', 'Joe User');     // Add a recipient
$mail->addAddress('ellen@example.com');               // Name is optional
$mail->addReplyTo('info@example.com', 'Information');
$mail->addCC('cc@example.com');
$mail->addBCC('bcc@example.com');

$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz');         // Add attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg');    // Optional name
$mail->isHTML(true);                                  // Set email format to HTML

$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body    = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';

if(!$mail->send()) {
    echo 'Message could not be sent.';
    echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
    echo 'Message has been sent';
}
?>

No matter how relevant, a statement of "use this addon instead" does not really answer the fundamental question raised about a native PHP function. `PHPMailer` is awesome but it's an additional, an addon and so this guide to using it does nothing for solving the original issue raised. (and no I didn't down vote you) — Martin, Aug 16 '16 at 17:28
I'll upvote you. Everyone should really stop using the php `mail()` function. — Nick, Aug 16 '16 at 17:37
If this was helpful please select as the answer. I appreciate the detailed response. I'll answer questions differently next time. @Martin I also totally agree with Nick. — CloudBranch, Aug 16 '16 at 18:10
@JoshuaWhalen trying to bend the OP's arm into accepting this as an answer is risible. — Progrock, Aug 16 '16 at 21:20
