PHP form mail question

Trying to get this form sent to multiple recipients, I dont know php but shouldnt this work?

function emailFormSubmission()
{
      $to = 'me@home.com' . ', ';
      $to .= 'you@home.com';
      $subject = 'Message from contact form';

---------------------------------------------------------------

the below code works when sending to a single address:
function emailFormSubmission()
{
      $to = 'you@home.com';
      $subject = 'Message from contact form';

--------------------------------

but I need to send to 2 address.

First, Isuggest you to read this article: And by the way, I am New to PHP

About multiple emails, you can use PhpMailer or you can iterate through an array:

Trivial example:

function emailFormSubmission()
{
      $to = array('me@home.com', 'you@home.com');
      $subject = 'Message from contact form';
      $message = 'message';
      foreach ($to as $recipient)
      {
            mail($recipient, $subject, $message);
      }
}

Please don't link to PHPMailer on Worxware; It's not been on there for years. It's now on GitHub.

Secondly, avoid calling mail() yourself. You'll probably be doing it wrong - use a library.

If you're sending the same message to both people, if they know each other, just add both as 'to' recipients of the same message, or CC one of them. If they don't, either use BCC or send two separate messages. There are plenty of code examples in the PHPMailer repo.

And even if that code would work, the variables you are using will only be 'local', not 'global' and be invisible to any other routines.
