Phpmailer Addaddress()

PHPMailer AddAddress()

You need to call the AddAddress function once for each E-Mail address you want to send to. There are only two arguments for this function: recipient_email_address and recipient_name. The recipient name is optional and will not be used if not present.

$mailer->AddAddress('recipient1@example.com', 'First Name');
$mailer->AddAddress('recipient2@example.com', 'Second Name');
$mailer->AddAddress('recipient3@example.com', 'Third Name');

You could use an array to store the recipients and then use a for loop.

How do I AddAddress automatically in PHPmailer from form php info?

Simple one... just change this line

$mail->AddAddress = ($_POST['email']);

to this:

$mail->AddAddress($_POST['email']);

as it is a method, as opposed to a variable, on the class! :)

there are some good examples you can use on the PHPMailer GitHub

PHP mailer multiple address

You need to call the AddAddress method once for every recipient. Like so:

$mail->AddAddress('person1@domain.example', 'Person One');
$mail->AddAddress('person2@domain.example', 'Person Two');
// ..

Better yet, add them as Carbon Copy recipients.

$mail->AddCC('person1@domain.example', 'Person One');
$mail->AddCC('person2@domain.example', 'Person Two');
// ..

To make things easy, you should loop through an array to do this.

$recipients = array(
   'person1@domain.example' => 'Person One',
   'person2@domain.example' => 'Person Two',
   // ..
);
foreach($recipients as $email => $name)
{
   $mail->AddCC($email, $name);
}

Using array variable in $mailer- AddAddress(user@domain.com); PHPMailer script

You're closing the while loop too soon.

Change it to:

require("PHPMailer_v5.1 2/class.phpmailer.php");
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
    $to = $row['email'];
    $first_name = $row['first_name'];
    $last_name = $row['last_name'];
    $msg = "Dear $first_name $last_name,\n$text";

    $mailer = new PHPMailer();
    $mailer->IsSMTP();
    $mailer->Host = 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465';
    $mailer->SMTPAuth = TRUE;
    $mailer->Username = 'myemail@gmail.com';  // Sender's gmail address
    $mailer->Password = 'the_password';  // Sender's gmail password
    $mailer->From = "$from";  // Sender's email address
    $mailer->FromName = "$from_name"; // senders name 
    $mailer->Body = "$msg";
    $mailer->Subject = "$subject";
    $mailer->AddAddress("$to");  // Recipient
    if(!$mailer->Send())
    {
        echo 'Email sent to:' . $to . '<br/ >';
        echo "Mailer Error: " . $mailer->ErrorInfo;
    }
    else
    {
        echo 'Email sent to:' . $to . '<br/ >';
    }

// Then close your while loop here
} 

mysqli_close($dbc);

PHPMailer sending to multiple address separated by a ,

You should explode it and then add the emails.

$addresses = explode(',', $result["emailto"]);
foreach ($addresses as $address) {
    $email->AddAddress($address);
}

php auto mailer addAddress

I think this is a scope issue. If you are calling this code in the main body of the code

$mailadd=mysqli_query($db,"SELECT `doctor_email` 
                            FROM `doctor_login` 
                            WHERE `doctor_id`='1'");
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($mailadd,MYSQLI_ASSOC);

Then I assume you call mailit() after this, so pass the data you want to use as a parameter to the mailit() function so it is available inside the function scope.

function mailit($row)
{
    $rand=rand(100000,999999);
    $user=$_SESSION['user'];

    $sql=mysqli_query($db,"UPDATE `doctor_login` SET `otp`='$rand' WHERE `doctor_id`='1'");

    $mail = new PHPMailer;

    $mail->isSMTP();                                      // Set mailer to use SMTP
    $mail->Host = '';  // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
    $mail->Username = 'myusername ';                 // SMTP username
    $mail->Password = 'mypassword';                           // SMTP password
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                            // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
    $mail->Port = 587 ;                                    // TCP port to connect to

    $mail->setFrom('dont_reply_back@example.xyz');
    $mail->addAddress($row['doctor_email']);     // Add a recipient
    $mail->addReplyTo('dont_reply_back@example.xyz');

    $mail->isHTML(true);                                  // Set email format to HTML
    $mail->Subject = 'THis is your OTP';
    $mail->Body    = 'Your otp is '.$rand; 

    $mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';

    if(!$mail->send()) {
        echo 'Message could not be sent.';
        echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
    }        
}

$mailadd=mysqli_query($db,"SELECT `doctor_email` 
                            FROM `doctor_login` 
                            WHERE `doctor_id`='1'");
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($mailadd,MYSQLI_ASSOC);

mailit($row);

You should have been getting errors from your original code so in future add the following:

ini_set('display_errors', 1); 
ini_set('log_errors',1); 
error_reporting(E_ALL); 
// if you are using the `mysqli` API
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);

to the top of your script. This will force any mysqli_ errors to generate an Exception that you can see on the browser as well as normal PHP errors.

How to use phpmailer to send email to multiple addresses one by one?

The problem you have is that you're actually adding multiple recipient addAddress() before actually sending the email.

So, after your loop...

$mail->addAddress('a@a.com');    // Add a recipient
$mail->addAddress('b@c.com');    // Add a another recipient
$mail->addAddress('d@e.com');    // Add a another recipient

the TO address is now a@a.com, b@c.com, d@e.com
And then... you're sending the email to all of them.

To send the email one by one I would initialize the mail object completely inside the loop.

(or call another function passing the address as an argument).

PHPMailer not sending all emails to last email address

Because you're reusing the $mail object to addAddress() and send(). So the first time you call phpmaileremail() the first address gets the email. Then when you call it for the second time the second address is added and the first and second address get the email. And so on.

A simple solution would be to create the $mail object inside the phpmaileremail() function:

function phpmaileremail($reciever,$usertype, $file, $emailsubject, $email_body )
{

  $mail = new PHPMailer(true);

  $mail->SMTPDebug = 0;                                        
  $mail->isSMTP();                                             
  $mail->Host       = 'smtp.gmail.com;';                     
  $mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                              
  $mail->Username   = 'XXXXXXXX@gmail.com';                  
  $mail->Password   = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';                         
  $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                               
  $mail->Port       = 587;   

  $mail->setFrom('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXX');            
  $mail->addAddress($reciever); 
  $mail->addAddress($reciever, $usertype); 
  // Attachments
  $mail->addAttachment($file);         // Add attachments

  $mail->isHTML(true);                                   
  $mail->Subject = $emailsubject; 
  $mail->Body    = $email_body; 
  $mail->AltBody = 'NA'; 
  $mail->send(); 

  echo "Mail sent"; 

}

PS: Not that it matters, but reciever is written receiver. I've made that mistake as well.

PHP Mailer Multiple recipients

You're code looks like it should be doing the trick. Make sure that $address doesn't contain any whitespace for the entries. For safe measure, add the trim()
function.

$mail->AddAddress(trim($address));

If that does not work, make sure that you're recipient addresses are real.

Additionally, in case the privacy of the recipients is of concern, I would recommend you use AddBCC() instead of AddAddress() so that their addresses are not revealed.
