How to send multiple emails in PHP and MySQL via phpmailer - php

Question

I have a problem. When i click send button, just zxc#hotmail.com receives the message.
How to change it? I'm use Gmail SMTP send out.
There are 2 records in the database:
Here is my code:
include "phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php";
$host = "localhost";
$user = "root";
$pass = "root";
$db = "mailTest";
mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
mysql_select_db($db);
$query = "SELECT email FROM list";
$recordset = mysql_query($query);
$row_recordset = mysql_fetch_assoc($recordset);
$tota_row_recordset = mysql_num_rows($recordset);
$msg = strip_tags($_POST['msg']);
$mail= new PHPMailer(); //建立新物件
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($recordset))
{
$to = $row['email'];
$mail->AddAddress($to, "Test Message");
}
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->CharSet = "big5";
$mail->Subject = "Test Message";
$mail->Username = "xxxxxx";
$mail->Password = "xxxxxx";
$mail->Body = "$msg";
$mail->IsHTML(true);
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
header('Location: index.php');
}

Answer 1

With this loop you overwrite the recipient with each iteration, so only the last one stays to receive the email:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($recordset))
{
$to = $row['email'];
}
$mail = new PHPMailer();
Change your code to
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create object FIRST
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($recordset))
{
$to = $row['email'];
$mail->AddAddress($to, "Test Message"); // add each DB entry to list of recipients
}

Answer 2

try this below:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($recordset))
{
$to = $row['email'];
$mail= new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->CharSet = "big5";
$mail->Subject = "Test Message";
$mail->Username = "xxxxxx";
$mail->Password = "xxxxxx";
$mail->Body = "$msg";
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->AddAddress($to, "Test Message");
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
}

if(isset($_POST['sbmit']))
{
for($i=0;$i<count($_POST['email_address']);$i++)
{
$to = $_POST['email_address'][$i];
echo $to."<br />";
$subject = 'Thank you for Subscribing';
$message = $_POST['news'];
$headers = 'From: dhakalneil#gmail.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: xyz#hotmail.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
echo $_POST['email_address'][$i]."<br />";
ini_set("SMTP","smtp.ntc.net.np" );
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'dhakalneil#gmail.com');
if( mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers))
{
echo "Mail has been sent to admin<br />";
}
else
{
echo "Mail could not been sent";
}
}
}
?>
