What is $rsVendorJobs, where is it populated? I assumed, from the way you were using it - that it was a class object with a 'fields' function that returns the value of a column when passed the column name. Which, looking back, seems pretty excessively abstracted :) Is $rsVendorJobs just the result of a mysql_query()? If so, you probably just want to be using: $to = $rsVendorJobs['Conmail']; Also note - the case sensitivity may or may not be a problem (you may need to use 'conmail') Otherwise, let's see some code to flesh this out!
