PHPMailer sends duplicate email - php

Question

PHPMailer
<?php
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->Mailer = "smtp";
$mail->Host = "smtp.office365.com";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "xxx";
$mail->Password = "xxx";
$mail->setFrom('xxx', 'Website');
//Send to Admin
$AdminEmail = 'admin.example#gmail.com';
$mail->AddAddress($AdminEmail, $AdminName);
$mail->Subject = "This is an email";
$mail2 = clone $mail;
$body = 'Hi Admin. This is an email';
$mail->Body = $body;
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo 'Message was not sent.';
echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent.';
}
//Send to User
$UserEmail = 'user.example#gmail.com';
$mail2->AddAddress($UserEmail, $UserName);
$body2 = 'Hi User. This is an email';
$mail2->Body = $body2;
if(!$mail2->Send()) {
echo 'Message was not sent.';
echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail2->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent.';
}
?>
I have an issue where when i send the emails, Admin will receive $mail and $mail2 when they supposed to just receive $mail. While there's no problem with User. Works fine by receiving $mail2. I've tried to put $mail->ClearAddresses(); but it's still the same. By chance, what is the problem?

Answer 1

Clone the email variable before adding the address and stuff of the admin. (As suggested in the comments)

Answer 2

You need to create different-different object for both admin and user email
//Send to Admin
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$AdminEmail = 'admin.example#gmail.com';
$mail->AddAddress($AdminEmail, $AdminName);
$mail->Subject = "This is an email";
$mail2 = clone $mail;
$body = 'Hi Admin. This is an email';
$mail->Body = $body;
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo 'Message was not sent.';
echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent.';
}
//Send to User
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$UserEmail = 'user.example#gmail.com';
$mail->AddAddress($UserEmail, $UserName);
$body2 = 'Hi User. This is an email';
$mail->Body = $body2;
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo 'Message was not sent.';
echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent.';
}
