Alright, first of all, in E-Mail Headers every param needs to be written in a seperate line, therefore following will work even with multiple recipients:
$recipients = array(); $header = explode( "\n" , $header ); foreach ( $header AS $param ) { $param = trim ( $param ); if ( strtolower( substr( $param , 0 , 3 ) ) == 'to:' ) { $recipients[] = trim ( substr( $param , 3 ) ); } } This will match every of these: 'TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' ' TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' ' TO:Mr Baz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' ' TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]' etc. pp -- red PS: I'm not sure about wether 'TO :' is allowed or not - sad thing :-) Am Mittwoch, 7.
