Form Submission to User and Admin - Magento, PHP and Zend Mail - php

Question

I'm working in Magento and new to PHP and Zend Mail.
The form was previously developed and was designed to send form submissions to 3 different email addresses. The email addresses are pulled from our Admin sections under "Contacts".
I wanted to add an automated response that the user receives after submitting our form.
It works, but the problem is the user receives 3 separate automated emails for each form submission. I'm sure you pro's will see why immediately when you see the code below.
Being a newbie, I'm hoping you guys/gals can help me with the code fix. Thanks in advance!
try {
foreach($split as $multiemail){
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setBodyText($rq_msg);
$mail->setBodyHtml($rq_msg);
$mail->setFrom($fromEmail, $fromName);
$mail->addTo($multiemail, $adminName);
$mail->setSubject('New request from customer: '.$fromName);
$mail->send();
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setBodyText($cust_msg);
$mail->setBodyHtml($cust_msg);
$mail->setFrom('our#email.com');
$mail->addTo($fromEmail);
$mail->setSubject('Your request was received, '.$fromName);
$mail->send();
}
}
catch(Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMassage();
}
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')
->addSuccess(Mage::helper('contacts')
->__('Your inquiry was submitted and will be responded to
as soon as possible. Thank you for contacting us.');
$this->_redirectUrl($request['redirecturl']);

Answer 1

You are sending the user an email in a loop. Move the user email outside of the loop so that it only happens once.
<?php
try {
foreach ($split as $multiemail) {
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setBodyText($rq_msg);
$mail->setBodyHtml($rq_msg);
$mail->setFrom($fromEmail, $fromName);
$mail->addTo($multiemail, $adminName);
$mail->setSubject('New request from customer: ' . $fromName);
$mail->send();
}
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setBodyText($cust_msg);
$mail->setBodyHtml($cust_msg);
$mail->setFrom('our#email.com');
$mail->addTo($fromEmail);
$mail->setSubject('Your request was received, ' . $fromName);
$mail->send();
}
catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMassage();
}
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addSuccess(Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Your inquiry was submitted and will be responded to as soon as possible. Thank you for contacting us.'));
$this->_redirectUrl($request[ 'redirecturl' ]);
