PHP mailer multiple address

Question

Here is my code.

require('class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer();

$email = '[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]';

    $sendmail = "$email";

    $mail->AddAddress($sendmail,"Subject");
    $mail->Subject = "Subject"; 
    $mail->Body    = $content;      

    if(!$mail->Send()) { # sending mail failed
        $msg="Unknown Error has Occured. Please try again Later.";
    }
    else {
        $msg="Your Message has been sent. We'll keep in touch with you soon.";
    }   
}

The Problem
if $email value is only 1. It will send. But multiple don't send. What should I do for this. I know that in mail function you have to separate multiple emails by comma. But not working in phpmailer.

Answer 1

You need to call the AddAddress method once for every recipient. Like so:

$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]', 'Person One');
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]', 'Person Two');
// ..

Better yet, add them as Carbon Copy recipients.

$mail->AddCC('[email protected]', 'Person One');
$mail->AddCC('[email protected]', 'Person Two');
// ..

To make things easy, you should loop through an array to do this.

$recipients = array(
   '[email protected]' => 'Person One',
   '[email protected]' => 'Person Two',
   // ..
);
foreach($recipients as $email => $name)
{
   $mail->AddCC($email, $name);
}
