Question

Any help would be appreciated.

$divisions = explode(",", $entry->dept);

foreach($divisions as $division) {
     $divs=get_record('induction_emails','id',$division);

$useremail = get_record('user', 'email', $divs->email);

    $to = get_record('user', 'id', $useremail->id);  }

if (email_to_user($to, $from, $subject, $body)){    

redirect('thanks.php'); die;

}  else {

} ?>

Works great when emailing one person but when you try to email a few in the array it does not work.

Answer 1

It’s because you send the email outside the loop and above that, overwrite the data with each iteration of the loop.

What you probably are attempting to do:

<?php

$statuses = array();

$divisions = explode(",", $entry->dept);

foreach($divisions as $division) {
    $divs=get_record('induction_emails','id',$division);
    $useremail = get_record('user', 'email', $divs->email);
    $to = get_record('user', 'id', $useremail->id);
    $email_status = email_to_user($to, $from, $subject, $body);
    $statuses [] = array('email_to' => $to, 'success' => $email_status);
}

foreach($statuses as $status) {
   if(!$status['success']) {
     //something went wrong with this email, handle it
   }
}
redirect('thanks.php'); die;

?>
