Lemmie, try that again, (darn webmail and TABS moving to next form element)...
FYI - prob. better in the php-general list.
But, I think your nested foreach() are the culprit.
Assuming $nameRefered = (
'Joe',
'Bob',
'Jane'
)
Assuming $emailRefered = (
'example1@example.com',
'example2@example.com',
'example3@example.com'
)
With your code, you would get emails to the following...
Joe <example1@example.com>
Joe <example2@example.com>
Joe <example3@example.com>
Bob <example1@example.com>
Bob <example2@example.com>
Bob <example3@example.com>
Jane <example1@example.com>
Jane <example2@example.com>
Jane <example3@example.com>
I would consider using the following due to the name/email being stored in
separate variable structures.
for( $i=0, $i < sizeof($nameRefered), $i++){
/* to get this name */
$thisname = $nameRefered[$i];
/* to get thisname's email */
$thisemail = $emailRefered[$i];
}
Provided of course that the values in the slots of the array correspond perfectly.
