    <p>I have been trying to get an email form that will send emails with attachments to email adresses which are stored in a database. I already have a script that will send an email to the email adresses in my database and I have a script that sends 1 attachment to 1 email and both of them work fine. The problem however is that I can't get them combined into 1 script. I have tried to combine the 2 into 1 many times but I can seem to figure it out. Since I'm still a student I am still learning how to do these things.</p> <p>I will post the code I have below to show you what I have so far. If anyone has any tips or could show me how to do it it would be very helpful.</p> <p>config.php</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $server="localhost"; $database="NAW"; $db_user="root"; $db_pass="something"; $fromadmin="test@test.com"; $table="Email"; $table_email="Email"; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Send mails to email adresses in database:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php include "header.php"; include "config.php"; if( $_POST || $_FILES ) { $seconds=$_POST['seconds']; $subject=$_POST['subj']; $messagesend=$_POST['message']; mysql_connect($server, $db_user, $db_pass) or die ("Database CONNECT Error"); $resultquery = mysql_db_query($database, "select * from $table"); while ($query = mysql_fetch_array($resultquery)) { $emailinfo=$myemail; $mailto=$query[$table_email]; mail($mailto, $subject, $messagesend , "From:".$fromadmin."\nReply-To:".$fromadmin."\n"); echo 'Mail sent to '.$mailto.'&lt;br&gt;'; sleep($seconds); } echo 'Mails sent.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
