mmm, could you use a foreach loop? I think you will need to send separate mail items for each e-mail address you have stored in the database if you want to address it to them personally. Eg in seudo code: foreach($row_returned_from_database){ # variables & headers etc here # eg, $contactemail = $row['email'] mail($contactemail, $subject, $message, $headers); } Cheers, Gav -----Original Message----- From: JeRRy [mailto:jusa_98@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, 1 April 2003 9:05 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: PHP mail() question? Hi, I am trying to get PHP mail() to do the following: 1) Grab email addresses from a database and put in the BCC of the email. (hidding their email address) 2) Grab first names from a database and put in the body of the email. Below is a script I am using, does not do any queries to any database because I am not sure how to do it in the function. I have tried but have failed so thought I'd ask here. Can anyone help? Here is the code I am using... <?php $myname = "Me Myself"; $myemail = "myself@email.com"; $contactname = "Mister Contact"; $contactemail = "whateva@domain.com"; $message = "hello from ".$contactname.""; $subject = "A email"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; $headers .= "From: ".$myname." <".$myemail.">\r\n"; $headers .= "To: ".$contactname." <".$contactemail.">\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$myname." <$myreplyemail>\r\n"; $headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: Just My Server"; mail($contactemail, $subject, $message, $headers); ?> Maybe I need a different function? If so could someone show me a example of how it can be achieved please? Thanks! Jerry P.S. I am using mysql database. http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
