Question:
Does anyone has a neat and simple solutions / explanation / tip as to how to send a message from a form to more then one email?
There were some discussions which where closed without particular solution or clear map.
So far I've done an insert record with two textboxes (one for future subject and second for future body of the message).
But what if I need send that message to more then one receipient and this LIST is being triggered from users table, for instance?
Also I would like to have each receipient to receive email addressed only to her / him.
Thanks in advance,
Viktor

Where you would normally have $to =whoever@whatever.com, use a function
call to gather e'mail addresses.
$to = GetAddresses();
function GetAddresses() {
// Create a datasource on the fly, and read the "to" info
$db = new clsDBInternetDB();
$SQL = "SELECT to_email FROM admin_to_users_mail"; // ** Change to match
your database **
$db->query($SQL);
$to = "";
$sep = ""; // separator between addresses
if ($db->next_record())
{
do
{
$to = $to . $sep . $db->f("to_email"); // ** Change the field name
to match your database **
if (!$sep) {
$sep = ", "; // Subsequent addresses get separated by a comma
}
} while ($db->next_record());
}
return $to;
} // end of function.
This is per DonB (www.GotoDon.com)

Thanks Mike!
Very useful - and it works.
two question:
1) How can I send it to all people so that they would not see it. Shall I put them all into bcc and not into to?
2) What if I have over 300 emails -- will the sytem do it ok? maybe there is a way to send each email one by one?
Thanks

The bcc is the best (and only) way to adress a group of people without
giving away adresses.
The example before, put it in a loop if to adress each adressee with iths
own email.
Sending one email to 300 adresses is handled by the mailserver which should
be the way to go.
