all you need to do is check to see if there is more than your allowed number
of CCs in the list

I'm assuming you have the headers available in a string somewhere, if not
the task will be difficult to explain.

If you send me a mail with details of what you have and what you want to do
I'll have a look at it and try to get you on the right track.

Just remove the REMOVE bits from my email address.

There are a number of excellent PHP books in the market, I can recommend the
PHP developers cookbook published by SAMS (Angus Hughes / Andrei Zmievski)
although not a PHP primer it does give a good easy to follow set of code
examples.

Cheers

Ron
