What code I should do change in this PHP script to send one email to more than 20 email addresses?
<?php
$email_to = "youremailaddress@yourdomain.com"; // your email address
$email_subject = "Contact Form Message"; // email subject line
$thankyou = "thankyou.htm"; // thank you page
?>
Please give me an example. Thank you.
Fore readability sake in the code use an array and implode it to a comma separated string:-
$recipients = array(
"youremailaddress@yourdomain.com",
// more emails
);
$email_to = implode(',', $recipients); // your email address
$email_subject = "Contact Form Message"; // email subject line
$thankyou = "thankyou.htm"; // thank you page
Your
$email_to = "address@one.com, address@two.com, address@three.com"
Needs to be a comma delimited list of email adrresses.
mail($email_to, $email_subject, $thankyou);
Just separate them by comma, like $email_to = "youremailaddress@yourdomain.com, emailtwo@yourdomain.com, John Doe <emailthree@example.com>".
Following code will do the task....
<?php
$contacts = array(
"youremailaddress@yourdomain.com",
"youremailaddress@yourdomain.com",
//....as many email address as you need
);
foreach($contacts as $contact) {
$to = $contact;
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
?>
Something like this:
mail("john@doe.com , marry@mail.com , frank@domain.com", "Test e-mail", "Hi, this is a test message!");
It is very bad practice to send all email addresses to all recipients; you should use Bcc (blind carbon copies).
$from = "myname@mymail.com";
$recipList = "mailaddress1,mailaddress2,etc";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\nFrom: {$from}\nBcc: {$recipList}\nDate: ".date(DATE_RFC2822);
mail(null,$subject,$message,$headers); //send the eail
$recipients = "test1@test.com,test2@test.com,test3@test.com,test1@test.com";
$email_array = explode(",",$recipients);
foreach($email_array as $email)
{
echo $to = $email;
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
The best way could be to save all the emails in a database.
You can try this code, assuming you have your email in a database
/*Your connection to your database comes here*/
$query="select email from yourtable";
$result =mysql_query($query);
/the above code depends on where you saved your email addresses, so make sure you replace it with your parameters/
Then you can make a comma separated string from the result,
while($row=$result->fetch_array()){
if($rows=='') //this prevents from inserting comma on before the first element
$rows.=$row['email'];
else
$rows.=','.$row['email'];
}
Now you can use
$to = explode(',',$rows); // to change to array
$string =implode(',',$cc); //to get back the string separated by comma
With above code you can send the email like this
mail($string, "Test", "Hi, Happy X-Mas and New Year");
In mail function you can as many reciepient as you want in $emailto paramater seperated by comma.
You can just write multiple email address to whom you want to send and pass it as the first argument. Example:-
mail("FirstEmailId@ABC.com, SecondEmilId@XYZ.com","Subject","Message","From: EmailId@PQR.com");
I think the following code will works.
$tos = array('address1@yourdomain.com', 'address2@yourdomain.com');
foreach ($tos as $to){
$ok = mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from);
}
if ($ok) {
echo "Message Send";
} else {
echo "Error";
}
Programmatically sending an submitted form to multiple email address is a possible thing, however the best practice for this is by creating a mailing list. On the code the list address will be place and any change or update on email addresses to the recipients list can be done without changing in the code.
