sending multiple emails...???

[vaska]

i'm trying to create a little form that the user can input a bunch of email addresses and then it will send to each of the recipients...it processses fine but none of the emails are being sent...any help on what i might be missing here? this is the script...

if ($send) {
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($recip_email);$i++) {

$headers stuff here...

$creply = "message here...";

mail("$recip_email","Re: Some things",$creply,$headers);
}
header("Location: email.php");
}

this is the part of the form concerning these...

<input name="recip_email[0]" value="" type="text">
<input name="recip_email[1]" value="" type="text">
<input name="recip_email[2]" value="" type="text">
<input name="recip_email[3]" value="" type="text">
<input name="recip_email[4]" value="" type="text">

also, i'm not sure how i would validate this form or if i could...???

thanks...v

I have a newsletter being delivered weekly to over 30,000 recipients. mail() really, truly sucks. It hangs, causes errors, and causes all kinds of weird problems when used in more demanding applications than occasionally sending a single email.

Instead, I've found that it's best to work directly with an open socket, using a class I've been using and tweaking for years available here:

I've got this code in various forms handling tens of thousands of emails per day.

hmmm, the issue is the loop...

i took the stupid simple route and just created unique $recip<no> textfields...and for each one that is left NULL the script just ignores it while doing the mail function...worked very nicely, although it ain't the prettiest...v
