PHP Only Sending To One Email

Hi all... I have the following

PHP Code:

---

mail($to, "Membership Status", $msg, 'From: '.$from); 


---

And then have this in the $to

PHP Code:

---

$to = "domain1@email.com, domain2@email.com, domain3@email.com, domain4@email.com, domain5@email.com"; 


---

It's only sending to the first email... But in the email that get's sent to the first email address I can see all those email addresses in the to field... Any ideas?

I'd rather suspect your mail transport rather than PHP. What system are you on , what are your SMTP settings (and what software have you been using to send mail)?

I'm sending it through the server, it's a PHP page... Are you asking what software the server is running? It's a Windows IIS server...

And that can be the problem:
from PHP manual:

The Windows implementation of mail() differs in many ways from the Unix implementation.[...] a MTA is needed listening on a network socket.[...] to parameter should not be an address in the form of "Something <someone@example.com>". The mail command may not parse this properly while talking with the MTA.

---

Therefore you need to check if your MTA, that receives the mail doesn't actually bounce it in the first place.

PHP Code:

---

while ($to = "domain1@email.com, domain2@email.com, domain3@email.com, domain4@email.com, domain5@email.com";)
 {
 
mail($to, "Membership Status", $msg, 'From: '.$from); 
}

Hmm... I don't think that would do it.

Using a while and running through each, splitting at a comma might.

But that will run infinitely, since $to will continuously assume the value of the string, without any factors changing.

Try this:

Code:

---

<?php

// All of the email addresses the message needs to be sent to
$addresses = Array('me@domain.com','you@domain.com','test@example.com','email@website.com');

//the subject of the message
$subject = 'Test Email';

//The body of the message
$msg = <<<HERE
This is the test email message. Change me to what you want the email to say
HERE;

foreach ($addresses as $to) {
 mail($to, $subject, $msg, 'From: PHP Script <noreply@domain.com>');
}
?>

---

Hope this helps.

You could replace the first thing with this and make it easier to write:

PHP Code:

---

$addresses = explode(', ', 'me@domain.com, you@domain.com, test@example.com, email@web.com'); 


---

Guys thanks for the help... I'll give it a goadn keep you posted...

Oh, oops. It should be ', ' not just ','

Scripts like that are pretty server intense when using a foreach or while to send mail or something.

Hey guys... Awsome all worked I also have a html email which I am sending and it wasn't working with the original code, but when I used explode it seemed to work... Any ideas as to why?
