  • 0

After a user adds 5 emails and their name to form below, and then hits the “send” button, I would like to send a message such as “Hello, your friend ‘sendername’ recommends that you use thissite.com. Please visit the site.” I would also like to specify the from address that this email has on it.

What PHP script could do this?

Thanks in advance,

JOhn

<div class="email1">
<form method="post" action="friends.php">
email address of friend 1:<br>
<input name="email1" type="text" size="55"><br>
<br>
email address of friend 2:<br>
<input name="email2" type="text" size="55"><br>
<br>
email address of friend 3:<br>
<input name="email3" type="text" size="55"><br>
<br>
email address of friend 4:<br>
<input name="email4" type="text" size="55"><br>

    You can use the mail function of php.

    The code would be something like this

    $msg = "a message";
$subject = "a subject";
mail($_POST['email1'], $subject,$msg,'From: ' . $_POST['sendername'] . "\n\r" );
mail($_POST['email2'], $subject,$msg,'From: ' . $_POST['sendername'] . "\n\r" );
mail($_POST['email3'], $subject,$msg,'From: ' . $_POST['sendername'] . "\n\r" );
mail($_POST['email4'], $subject,$msg,'From: ' . $_POST['sendername'] . "\n\r" );
mail($_POST['email5'], $subject,$msg,'From: ' . $_POST['sendername'] . "\n\r" );

    Also changing your form to that would make the code more easy

    <div class="email1">
<form method="post" action="friends.php">
email address of friend 1:<br>
<input name="email[]" type="text" size="55"><br>
<br>
email address of friend 2:<br>
<input name="email[]" type="text" size="55"><br>
<br>
email address of friend 3:<br>
<input name="email[]" type="text" size="55"><br>
<br>
email address of friend 4:<br>
<input name="email[]" type="text" size="55"><br>
<br>
email address of friend 5:<br>
<input name="email[]" type="text" size="55"><br>
<br>
your name:<br>
<input name="sendername" type="text" size="55"><br>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="send" name="Send" id="Send"/>
</form>

    It would recude the code to

    Hope this helps. 

    $msg = "a message";
$subject = "a subject";
foreach($_POST['email'] as $email){        
mail($email, $subject,$msg,'From: ' . $_POST['sendername'] . "\n\r" );
}

    your comment code

    $msg = "<html><body><h1><a href="thissite.com">thissite</a></h1><img src='http://youserver.com/img.jpg'></body></html>";
$subject = "a subject";
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: ' . $_POST['sendername'] . "\r\n";
foreach($_POST['email'] as $email){
mail($email, $subject,$msg,$headers);
}
