Today I had to write a script to process a form and send an email as part of the processing. The form allows the user to specify an email address to bcc, but it’s not required. I’m a big fan of using the Ternary Operator for doing either\/or stuff like css classes. So I decided to extend that fandom to set the bcc attribute of the <cfmail> tag if the email specified in the form was valid.<\/p>\n
Assumptions for this example:<\/p>\n
1. You have validated form.bccEmail as a valid email.
\n2. You have a default mail server specified in Application.cfc or CFADMIN.
\n3. You may see more utility in using the Ternary Operator for other conditional cases.<\/p>\n
The “magic” is in the bcc attribute below:<\/p>\n
