PHP Email Help

So this is probably very simple, but I can't get it.

 

Trying to send 1 email to a list of addresses from a mysql query.

 

pcontact is the email addresses, here's the query to get them

$query_rsFind = "
SELECT pcontact
FROM user_logins
WHERE (pcontact_type = 'SMS' 
OR pcontact_type = 'Email')
AND pcontact_active = '1'
AND active = '1'
";
$rsFind = mysql_query($query_rsFind, $cnepix) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsFind = mysql_fetch_array($rsFind);

 

What i'm trying to do is put these addresses into 1 variable to send separated by commas like

[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

 

So ultimately, want this

mail($sendTo, $subject, $body);

 

Arg, hard to get across what I can't get.  Basically want the results from my query to do this

$sendTo = [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

$query = mysql_query("SELECT all the results in the MySQL query.

 

Then you could use, $rows = mysql_num_rows($query)

 

This will tell you the number of results found.

 

Then you could run a for loop:

for($i=0;$i<$rows;++$i)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_row($query); //this will take one row of results from the query
//then do any mailing you wish to do on the returned row (in this case $row[0] as your first result back should be the emails)
}
//Once the loop has reached the end it will have taken and used all the results fround from you query

 

 

For multiple emails you are advised to use php mailer though

Something like this should give you the recipient string you're looking for, assuming pcontact is a field that holds email addresses:

 

// Set the SQL (include WHERE conditions)
$result = mysql_query('SELECT pcontact FROM user_logins');

// Initialize the array that holds the recipients
$recipients = array();

// Iterate over each email address result
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
    // Store each email address result in the recipient array
    $recipients[] = $row['pcontact'];
} // while()
// Turn the array into a string separated by commas
$recipients = implode(', ',$recipients); // "[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]"
