two foreach loops combined for email sending
Question by Bowser Entertainment
I am trying to take a two text areas with multiple emails, one with the “from” emails, and one with the “to” emails. Combine the emails line by line and send emails out accordingly.
Ex:
“To” list:
mike@gmail.com
nick@hotmail.com
adam@yahoo.com
“From” list:
ashley@gmail.com
brittney@yahoo.com
racheal@hotmail.com
I want a email sent to:
mike@gmail.com from ashley@gmail.com
nick@hotmail.com from brittney@yahoo.com
adam@yahoo.com from racheal@hotmail.com
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
Below is the script I got so far, It sends to multiple emails from one email.
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
// Execute this code if the submit button is pressed.
$raw_email_account = $_POST['email_from'];
$email = $_POST['email_to'];
$sent = "";
$invalid = "";
//Separating each line to be read by foreach
$list = explode("n",$email);
//Rendering the separeted data from each line
foreach($list AS $data) {
//Separating each line to be read by foreach
$item = explode(":",$data);
$mail_body = '<html><body>email here</body></html>';
$subject = "subject here";
$headers = "From:".$raw_email_account."rn";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/htmlrn";
$to = $item[0];
$mail_result = mail($to, $subject, $mail_body, $headers);
if ($mail_result) {
$valid++;
} else {
// write into an error log if the mail function fails
$invalid++;
}
}
}
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="email_sender.php" method="POST">
<div align="center">From Email Accounts: <textarea name="email_from" cols="100" rows="60"></textarea></div><br />
<div align="center">To Email Accounts: <textarea name="email_to" cols="100" rows="60"> </textarea></div><br />
<div align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit"></div>
<br>
Valids: <?php echo $valid;?>
<br>
Invalids: <?php echo $invalid;?>
</body>
</html>

Add logic that provides same count of $email and $raw_email_account arrays before foreach loop.
$list = explode("n",$email);
$list2 = explode("n", $raw_email_account);
foreach($list AS $key=>$data) {
...
$headers = "From:".$list2[$key]."rn";
...
}

If the array is by default, the indexes will coincide. So you can do something like this.
$toList = array(..);
$fromList = array(...);
foreach($toList as $key => $value) {
$toAddress = $value;
$fromAddress = $fromList[$key];
//..
//.. Go on with you mail function
}
