How to add cc in mail merge inphp

In PHP, you can add a CC (carbon copy) recipient to a mail merge using the mail() function or a PHP mail library like PHPMailer. Here are some examples:

Using the mail() function:

$headers = 'From: [email protected]'. "\r\n".
           'CC: [email protected], [email protected]'. "\r\n".
           'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8';

$message = 'Hello, '. $name. '!';

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

In this example, the CC header is set to include the email addresses [email protected] and [email protected].

Using PHPMailer:

require_once 'PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php';
require_once 'PHPMailer/SMTP.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer();

$mail->setFrom('[email protected]');
$mail->addCC('[email protected]', 'Recipient 2');
$mail->addCC('[email protected]', 'Recipient 3');

$mail->addAddress($to, $name);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = 'Hello, '. $name. '!';

$mail->send();

In this example, the addCC() method is used to add the CC recipients to the email.

Using a mail merge template: If you're using a mail merge template, you can add a CC recipient by including a placeholder in the template and replacing it with the actual email address using PHP.

For example, if your template has a placeholder for the CC recipient, you can replace it with the actual email address using PHP:

$template = 'Hello, {{name}}! This email is being sent to {{cc}}.';

$name = 'John Doe';
$cc = '[email protected], [email protected]';

$template = str_replace('{{name}}', $name, $template);
$template = str_replace('{{cc}}', $cc, $template);

mail($to, $subject, $template);

In this example, the str_replace() function is used to replace the placeholders in the template with the actual values.

Note that the above examples assume that you have already set up the to and subject variables, as well as the name variable (if using a mail merge template).
