Web form - email to multiple people

[stevea]

Hi All,

I need some help with a form I'm using to allow users of my website to email multiple people.

I have a "poker club" website where people can use to track the stats of people who attend their regular poker games.

I have given the "club owners" the ability to send an email to all of their club members when scheduling a game, or when posting news on the website.

The problem I am finding is that sometimes not all of the members in the club receive the email message.

Is there something wrong with my code??? If so, I'm hoping someone can suggest a better way of doing this.

Here is my code:

$fromemail = "$owneremail";

		$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
		$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
		$headers .= "From: <$fromemail>\r\n";

		$email_details_format = stripslashes($tournament_details_format);

		$body .= "<font face=\"verdana\" size=\"2\">";
		$body .= "$email_details_format";
		$body .= "<BR><BR>";

		$body .= "$ownername<BR>";
		$body .= "<a href=\"$homepage/clubhome.php?clubid=$clubid\">$clubname</a><BR><BR>";
		$body .= "</font>";
		$body .= "<HR align=left width=90%>";

		$body .= "<font face=\"verdana\" size=\"1\">Start your own poker club at <a href=\"$homepage\">[url]www.homepokerclub.net[/url]</a>!</font>";

		$email_subject = "$clubname - Tournament Scheduled - $tourneydate";

		$result_memberemails = mysql_query("select p.email from players p, membership m where p.PlayerID = m.PlayerID and m.ClubID = $clubid");

		while ($member_emails = mysql_fetch_row($result_memberemails)) {

		$to = "$member_emails[0]"; 
		mail($to, $email_subject, $body, $headers);		

		}

Hi,

Is it always the same people that do not get the email? Certain spam filters may filter out messages from unknown sources, to many recipients or without certain security strings embedded.

Perhaps you can keep track of the emails that are sent without problems, and cross-check against emails that are received?

If some do and some don't work, it doesn't sound like a coding issue to me.

It isn't spam filters.

Maybe it's a performance issue. When the problem occurs, the form takes a long time to process...

Thx,
