Answer 1

Try this code.
require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
function SendPHPMail($to, $from, $subject, $htmlContent, $attachments = array())
{
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'emailAddress#gmail.com';
$mail->Password = 'password';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Port = 25;
$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
'ssl' => array(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => true,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);
$mail->From = 'emailAddress#gmail.com'; //sender emailAddress
$mail->FromName = 'name'; //sender name
//Here $to has multiple emailAddress
//$to = array('address1#domain.com','address2#domain.com','address3#domain.com');
if(!empty($to)){
foreach($to as $emailAddress){
$mail->addAddress($emailAddress);
}
} else{
throw new \Exception('No emails found!');
}
if(!empty($attachments)){
foreach($attachments as $attachment){
$mail->addAttachment($attachment);
}
}
//$mail->addCC();
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $htmlContent;
if(!$mail->send()) {
throw new \Exception($mail->ErrorInfo);
}
}

Answer 2

instead of $mail->addAddress($to_id); use something like this:
$mail->addAddress("peter#doe.com , hannes#mail.com , manuel#domain.com", "...");

Answer 3

You can use just like that:
$mail->AddAddress('email1#domain.com', 'First Email');
$mail->AddAddress('email2#domain.com', 'Second Email');
Or if you have emails in an array $_POST['toid'], than you can use AddAddress() in a loop.
