Answer 1

I'm not sure if you want to send the same email or not to differents persons, but the first improvement to do is to factorize your code.
// here an example of a function to send the SAME email to differents persons
// $emails is an array
function sendMail($emails, $subjects, $msg) {
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
try {
$mail->Host = "$host"; // specify main and backup server
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = $username; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = $password; // SMTP password
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->From = $from;
$mail->FromName = $Name;
foreach ($emails as $to) {
$mail->AddAddress($to);
}
$mail->AddBCC('xxx#gmail.com');
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $html;
$mail->AltBody = $html;
if(!$mail->Send()) {
// log if needed
}
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
echo $e->errorMessage();
}
}
now you can use this function with differents messages or subjects... whatever you want!
EDIT :
to send different message to users and admins :
//settings for admin
$emails = array('admin#mail.com', 'admin2#mail.com'); // or just array('admin#mail.com');
$subjects = 'my sub';
$msg = 'my msg';
sendMail($emails, $subjects, $msg);
//settings for users
$emails = array('user#mail.com');
$subjects = 'different or not sub';
$msg = 'different or not msg';
sendMail($emails, $subjects, $msg);
