    <p>When I try to send email from the while loop with PHPMailer, it sometimes sends 2, sometimes 3 copies of the same email (it is like random) to each recipient.</p> <p>Here is my code. Do you think it has problems?</p> <pre><code> $list = $_POST['list']; $items = rtrim($_POST['items'],","); $query = "SELECT * FROM `mail` WHERE `ID` IN ($items)"; $result = mysql_query($query); $from = "donotreply@mysite.net"; $fromname = "mysite"; $mail = new PHPMailer(true); $mail-&gt;IsSendmail(); $mail-&gt;From = $from; $mail-&gt;FromName = $fromname; $mail-&gt;Subject = "Your subscription was confirmed"; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) { // HTML body $body .= "&lt;p&gt;Hi ". $row['name'] ." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; $body .= "Your subscription request to " . $l_name ."'s list was confirmed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; $body .= "Thank You !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; // Plain text body (for mail clients that cannot read HTML) $text_body = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; $mail-&gt;Body = $body; $mail-&gt;AltBody = $text_body; $mail-&gt;AddAddress($row['email']); $mail-&gt;Send(); $mail-&gt;ClearAddresses(); } </code></pre> <p>Do you think should I put that <code>mail-&gt;send();</code> out of the while loop and get all the emails from an array?</p> <p>Or do you think it is the problem with the MySQL query?</p> <p>Edit: I checked database, no problem about database but i figured out that (lets say there are 2 mail in the array) it sends first email normally but second one goes with dublicated $body variable, i mean it sends $body variable dublicated.</p> <p>FIX: hey, I done, I just added <code>$body = "";</code> and it works perfect now!</p>

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.
