the ones that will never change put them in bcc field and recipient like same. Add as many bcc as you want, just properly formatted

Hi all,

Another solution would be to have all of the email address' put into an array, then using a for each loop you could iterate through each instance of the array and invoke the mail function that way:-

$Address = array();

$Address[] = "one@mailaddress.com";
$Address[] = "two@mailaddress.com";
$Address[] = "three@mailaddress.com";

$Subject = "Sending an email";
$Message = "Hi there, this email has been sent to you\n\r";
$Message .= "because you are a valued member!\n\r";
$mailheaders = "MIME-version: 1.0\r\n";
$mailheaders .= "content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\r\n";
$mailheaders .= "From: Your Company name here <you@yoursite.com>\r\n"

foreach($Address AS $Add=>$ToEmail){
mail($ToEmail, $Subject, $Message, $mailheaders);
}

Though if you just want to use the mail function once you can just place a comma between address' for php/mail to send to them all.

Hope that makes sense anyway.

Cheers,

Personagoogleample), you might find that your emails may be halted/terminated, queued, delayed, or throttled. (why? consider SPAM)

If you will be emailing LARGE quantities of email or emailing VERY frequently, consider consulting your system administrator(s) to ensure your server/etc will not have any issues.

I give up... my post was longer than that, and it messed it up. I tried editing my post to fix it, and it is still dumping the majority of my post! -angry-

thank you both for answering. i guess what i was trying to say is that none of those options had worked for me. i had tried putting this

$recipient = $row['Email'],"myemail@hotmail.com"; //recipient
$subject = "Results"; //subject
mail($recipient, $subject, $emailtxt); //mail command :)?>

or this

$recipient = "$row['Email'], myemail@hotmail.com"; //recipient
$subject = "Results"; //subject
mail($recipient, $subject, $emailtxt); //mail command :)?>

and other similar variations but none worked.
Am i writing it incorrectly? How could i modify just that one line, or add another recipient below the first one like this (by the way, i tried the query below and it didnt work either)

$recipient = $row['Email']; //recipient
$recipient = "myemail@hotmail.com"; //recipient
$subject = "Results"; //subject
mail($recipient, $subject, $emailtxt); //mail command :)?>

this one only shows the last email (myemail@hotmail.com)
thanks again

$recipient = $row['Email'],"myemail@hotmail.com"; //recipient
$subject = "Results"; //subject
mail($recipient, $subject, $emailtxt); //mail command happy!?>

That one should work, but the comma s needed as part of the string. Try

$email = $row['Email'];
$recipient = "$email,myemail@hotmail.com";

$recipient = "$row['Email'], myemail@hotmail.com";

The array reference won't work this way, see above or try

$recipient = "$row{'Email'}, myemail@hotmail.com";

(might not work)

$subject = "Results"; //subject

$recipient = $row['Email']; //recipient
$recipient = "myemail@hotmail.com"; //recipient

This one doesn't work because the script executes linear, top to bottom, second $recipient replaces the first.

Best of all, since all of those will reveal all addresses to all recipients, is build a header with a BCC. No one can see the other emails in the BCC.

$headers = "From: " . $row['Email'] ."\r\n";
$headers .= "BCC:" . "address1@example.com,address2@example.com,address3@example.com\r\n";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);

thanks rocknbill:
this worked great.

$email = $row['Email'];
$recipient = "$email,myemail@hotmail.com";

adding the $headers below made it work even better. Appreciate it.

$headers = "From: " . $row['Email'] ."\r\n";
$headers .= "BCC:" . "address1@example.com,address2@example.com,address3@example.com\r\n";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);

the ones that will never change put them in BCC field...

Just to add... I had problems recently with a (popular) shared host that prevented email being BCC'd to any email address that wasn't of the same domain the email was being sent from (over zealous security I guess) - just resulted in an error and the email was not sent:

Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 554 <someone@anotherdomain.co.uk>: Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied

Did you test that against a normal email like outlook or even web based email? That's really odd!

If you get stuck in that situation, use the looping method. It's a little more intense as it requires multiple calls to mail(), but unless you're sending out thousands it shouldn't be too taxing.

In fact, you should use that method anyway if you hope to customize the email, an gives a "prettier" to header anyway:

$emails = Array (
'Bill' => 'bill@example.com',
'Bob' => 'bob@example.com',
'Mary' => 'mary@example.com'
);

foreach ($emails as $name=>$email) { 
 $msg = " 
 <p>Dear $name,</p> 
 <p>Here is your message.</p> 
 "; 
 
 $headers = "From: \"$name\" <$email>\r\n"; 
 $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; 
 $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; 
 mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);  
} 

So coming into their mailbox it looks like

To: "Bill" <bill@example.com>

It's the little things. :-)
