Script to send e-mails is sending wrong info!

Hi!

I'm new here and pretty much an amateur with PHP.

 

For my website, I have a PHP CRON script which when run should send an e-mail to all users on my site whose profile will expire in 2 days time, to remind them to renew. This is the script:

 

 1 <?
2 mysql_connect("localhost","myco_mycoabc","test@123");
3 mysql_select_db("myco_mycoabc");
4 
5 $sql="select * from tbl_signup_user WHERE DATEDIFF(endDate, now()) = 2 ";
6 $rs=mysql_query($sql);
7 while($row=mysql_fetch_array($rs))
8 {
9 
10 	$userEmail=$row['email'];
11 	$userName=$row['user_name'];
12 	$firstName=$row['first_name'];
13 	$end_Date=date("l F d, Y",strtotime($row['endDate']));
14 	$from="support@myco.co.uk";
15 	$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .  
16     "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .  
17     "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .  
18     "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .  
19     $message . "\n\n";  
20 	$msg .="Hi ".$firstName." \n\n As you may be aware your ".$userName." profile on www.myco.co.uk is due to expire on ".$end_Date."." . "\n\n"; 
21 	$msg .="If you wish to continue being a member of our directory, please log into your account, select ?Renew my Profile? and choose your payment option." . "\n\n"; 
22 	$msg .="We are now one of the best directories in the UK, giving excellent value for money:" . "\n\n"; 
23 	$msg .="+ Good quality photo gallery" . "\n"; 
24 	$msg .="+ Easy to edit your profile" . "\n";
25 	$msg .="+ All major debit & credit cards accepted" . "\n\n"; 
26 	$msg .="If you have any questions please let us know." . "\n\n"; 
27 	$msg .="All the best" . "\n\n"; 
28 
29 $msg .="My Company Support" . "\n"; 
30 $msg .="www.myco.co.uk" . "\n";
31 	
32 		
33 	;
34 	$headers = "From:" . $from;
35 	mail($userEmail, "My Company subscription",$msg,$headers);
36 }
37 ?>

 

However, the script is sending the firstname and username of all selected members in the same e-mail in some of the e-mails! i.e. rather than each member who expires in 2 days just getting the e-mail personalised with their firstname and username, at the bottom it then appends it with the same e-mail with the firstname and username of the other members expiring in 2 days time!

 

Please could someone tell me where I'm going wrong and how to fix it?

 

Many thanks!

 

Steve
