I am using a select statement to pull data from my DB using a where clause and limited to 1, then i am trying to put the addresses it has pulled into the sendto field on phpmailer.
I have updated the question so the full code is here, i am still unable to pull up the echo from the var that i entered to collect the emails from the list.
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "####";
$password = "####";
$dbname = "####";
// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo "Connected successfully";
$sql = "SELECT email FROM emails WHERE status = 'new' LIMIT 1";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "id: " . $row["email"]. " ";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$sql = "UPDATE emails SET status='done' WHERE status = 'new' LIMIT 1";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "Record updated successfully";
} else {
echo "Error updating record: " . $conn->error;
}
$var_email = $row["email"];
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
//Load Composer's autoloader
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
Class SendMail{
function send(){
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
//Server settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER;; //Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); //Send using SMTP
$mail->Host = '####'; //Set the SMTP server to send through
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; //Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = '####'; //SMTP username
$mail->Password = '####';
$mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS; //Enable implicit TLS encryption
$mail->Port = 465;
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('info#####', '####');
$mail->addAddress($var_email);
//Content
$mail->isHTML(true); //Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = '####';
$mail->Body = "####";
$mail->send();
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
}
$sendMail = new SendMail();
$sendMail->send();
$conn->close();
?>
I am hoping its a simple fix, but i feel like somewhere i have put the wrong string which is not allowing me to echo the results into the address field.
any suggestions?

Answer 1

take a variable and assign value to it
ex. $var_email = $row["email"];
$mail->addAddress($var_email);
try it it's working. problem is occur because of php version
