Hi guys,
I'm new to phpbuilder and PHP coding, and sorry that my first post is a request. But I have looked everywhere for help. I've been trying to solve this problem for days, still no luck,
I'm trying to use PHPmailer to sent out bulk emails, i have no problems on sending out emails, but on my recipients side the body message will build up.
for example; if I sent a email to David, John and Cathy with the follow body
Hi {username}, testing. David will receive the body message as
Hi David, testing.John will receive the body message as
Hi David, testing. Hi John, testing. Cathy will receive the body message as
Hi David, testing. Hi John, testing. Hi Cathy testing.I did not wrote these code, but i've been trying to edit it. and still no use.
function _sendBulkEmail($data, $delay = 100){
if(!empty($data)){
// If the to is array then loop through recipient
if(is_array($data['to'])){
$recipients = $data['to'];
// Loop through recipient
foreach($recipients as $recipient){
// Trim the data, remove the whitespace
$data['to'] = trim($recipient);
// Send the email
$this->_sendEmail($data);
// Reseting email before sending again
$this->Mailer->ClearAllRecipients();
$this->Mailer->ClearAddresses();
$this->Mailer->ClearAttachments();
// Delay the email sending
usleep($delay);
}
}else{
// Put in to temporary variable
$recipients = $data['to'];
// Split up the recipient in case user enter
// the recipient as comma separated value
$recipients = preg_split('/[\s,]/', $recipients);
// Loop through recipient after split
foreach($recipients as $key => $recipient){
// Remove the whitespace from recipient address, if any
$recipients[$key] = trim($recipient);
}
// Put back the recipient as an array
$data['to'] = $recipients;
// Recursive call
$this->_sendBulkEmail($data);
}
}else{
return false;
}
