    copied!<p>I am trying to write PHPMailer to send email. I am using a while loop with mysqli_fetch_array to extract email records from MySQL and have assigned the 'email' database field to a variable called '$to' and feeding to the PHPMailer $mailer->AddAddress("user@domain.com") call. </p> <p>The script works but only sends email to the first recipient found in the database. Any clues on where I am screwing up? THX!</p> <pre><code> $from = 'myemail@gmail.com'; $from_name = 'My Name'; $subject = $_POST['subject']; $text = $_POST['elvismail']; $dbc = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'username', 'the_password', 'database_name') or die('Error connecting to mysql'); $query = "SELECT * FROM email_list"; $result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query) or die('Error querying database.'); while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){ $to = $row['email']; $first_name = $row['first_name']; $last_name = $row['last_name']; $msg = "Dear $first_name $last_name,\n$text"; } require("PHPMailer_v5.1 2/class.phpmailer.php"); $mailer = new PHPMailer(); $mailer-&gt;IsSMTP(); $mailer-&gt;Host = 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465'; $mailer-&gt;SMTPAuth = TRUE; $mailer-&gt;Username = 'myemail@gmail.com'; // Sender's gmail address $mailer-&gt;Password = 'the_password'; // Sender's gmail password $mailer-&gt;From = "$from"; // Sender's email address $mailer-&gt;FromName = "$from_name"; // senders name $mailer-&gt;Body = "$msg"; $mailer-&gt;Subject = "$subject"; $mailer-&gt;AddAddress("$to"); // Recipient if(!$mailer-&gt;Send()) { echo 'Email sent to:' . $to .
