variable

[founder]

I created a script a while back to send a simple string from a webpage to email. This string was exploded and i am currently using:

$mail[0] $mail[1] and so on.

This was fine to start with but there are now too many results and the script is getting ugly, now I am curious if I can substitute a variable such as $mail[$x] in a loop? I have tried $mail[$x] but know I am missing something. I am a newbie at this so any help would be appreciated.

you can implode the array back to a string and just use that, or you could recreate a string using a loop and then mail that.

I guess where I am heading is that the results of the explode are email addresses and I am trying to send email to my group visitors using these email addresses. The only issue I have is that I need them to show up as individual emails without the entire group of email addresses showing up in the 'to' field. I seem to be missing something. I am not very fluent on the terminology either. This is the file as I have it now (not working)

<?php
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ;
$headers .= "From: $sender\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$emailtext1=nl2br("$emailtext1");
$headtext=nl2br("$headtext");
$footer=nl2br("$footer");
$more1=nl2br("$more1");
{
$emailtext1 = stripslashes($emailtext1);
$headtext = stripslashes($headtext);
$footer = stripslashes($footer);
$more1 = str_replace(" ", ",", $more1);
$more = explode(" ", $more1);

mail("$more[$x]","$headtext", "<font size='2' face='Verdana'>$emailtext1<br><br>$footer</font>", "$headers");
}
Print("Your message was succesfully sent to $more[$x]");
?>

in the context above $x is undefined so that wont work, you will need to define $x i a loop like so:

$more = explode(" ", $more1);

for ($x = 0; $x < sizeof($more); ++$x) {
  mail($more[$x],$headtext, "<font size='2' face='Verdana'>$emailtext1<br><br>$footer</font>",$headers);
}

thanks drew010. This is getting me a lot closer, I seem to still be having a problem with all the email addresses showing up in the 'to' field when the email is received. I was thinking that this idea would be similar to sending emails from a database table where only one address at a time shows up in the persons mailbox to which it is addressed to. Maybe I am going about this all wrong.
