<?php

if(empty($_POST['emailcontents'])) {
        echo "Please place email contents below";
} else {
        $host = "localhost";
        $db = "massmailer";
        $user = "maileradmin";
        $pass = "mailerpass";

        mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die('Could not Connect to Database massmailer');
        mysql_select_db($db) or die('Could not Select the Database');

        $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM emails") or die("Could not select table");
        $nrows = mysql_num_rows($result);
        $count = 0;

        for($i=0; $i<$nrows; $i++) {
        $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
        $count++;
        mail($row['emailaddr'], "Test from Frank", $_POST['emailcontents'], "From: contact@test.com") or die("Could not send email");
        echo "<b>Email Successfully Sent to:</b> ".$row['emailaddr']."<br />";
        }

}
?>
<form action="" method="post">

<html>
<head><title>Send Emails</title></head>
<body>
<?php

if(empty($_POST['emailcontents'])) {
        echo "Please place email contents below";
} else {
        $host = "localhost";
        $db = "massmailer";
        $user = "maileradmin";
        $pass = "mailerpass";

        mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die('Could not Connect to Database massmailer');
        mysql_select_db($db) or die('Could not Select the Database');

        $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM emails") or die("Could not select table");
        $nrows = mysql_num_rows($result);
        $count = 0;

        for($i=0; $i<$nrows; $i++) {
        $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
