Hey folks, 1st time poster.

I have a script ( Email sender by: Steve "Defender" Cunningham )
but I would like to send the form to more then 1 recipient, the send code it

PHP Code:

$youremail="allan@burnttoastdesign.net"; "allan74@shaw.ca"; // This is the address that the information submitted will be sent to. 

This code above dosn't send to both emails but only to the 1st one. I have never had to send a form to more then 1 email before, how is this done?


Thanks for the time

PHP Code:

$youremail="allan@burnttoastdesign.net"; // This is the address that the information submitted will be sent to. 



$youremail="allan74@shaw.ca"; 

If I do it this way then it sends it only to the second email...

do it like you would as a normal email:

PHP Code:

$youremail = "allan@burnttoastdesign.net, allan74@shaw.ca, allan@msn.com";

i think email addresses should be saved to a file, and then(an email on a row), you read data in that file

I didn't even try to do it this way LOL, thanks for the time

yeh most people use loops to send it to every person in turn but they forget that it works just like any other mail, by seperating multiple email addreses with a comma

For this specific case some like that can be used:

1) Create a function sendMail:
function sendMail($mFrom,$mTo,$mCC,$mBCC,$sujet,$body) {
$head = "From: ".$mFrom."\n";
$head .= "Reply-To: ".$mFrom."\n";
$head .= "CC: ".$mCC."\n";
$head .= "BCC: ".$mBCC."\n";
return mail($mTo,$sujet,$body,$head );
}

2) And Call the function sendMail:
for: $mTo="allan@burnttoastdesign.net"
$mCC="allan74@shaw.ca"
$mBCC="allan@msn.com"

Play with it.

if your sending it to multiple recipients why do you cc and bcc it? ignore what pamthieu said my way works fine

As I said, it was specific solution for a specific case.
If anybody wants to know how to use mass Email in php, this is the complete solution.

Mysql Table:
create table massemail(name varchar(60),email varchar(60));

<?php
//DB Class Begins
class DB {
function DB() {
$this->host = "your_host";
$this->db = "your_db";
$this->user = "your_username";
$this->pass = "youy_password";
$this->link = mysql_connect($this->host, $this->user, $this->pass);
mysql_select_db($this->db);
register_shutdown_function($this->close);
}
function query($query) {
$result = mysql_query($query, $this->link);
return $result;
}
function close() {
mysql_close($this->link);
}
}
//Class ends

//Custom mail function
function sendMail($mFrom,$mTo,$sujet,$body) {
$head = "From: ".$mFrom."\n";
$head .= "Reply-To: ".$mFrom."\n";
return mail($mTo,$sujet,$body,$head);
}
//Begining of everything
$DB= new DB();//New DB instance (object)
$result = $DB->query('select * from massemail') or die('the Query is failed: ' . mysql_error());
//Sending Emails...
$sender='you@yourdomain.com';
$title='Watch out! We could do Stuff in php';
$message='Do not tell people to do this or that, but give them a concrete solution, a solution that works, a real example..';
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
sendMail($sender,$reciepient,$title,$message);
}

?>

That's it!

[pamthieu]

Please fix the While loop.

while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$reciepient=$row->email;
sendMail($sender,$reciepient,$title,$message);
}
