There is also good rumour about that MS have fully ported .NET to FreeBSD so that they can use the .NET framework for coding, and FreeBSD to continue running Hotmail. Of course, this could all be just rumour... but it's interesting to ponder. :-) -Andrew -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Davy,
Something along the lines of:
Your form items would be:
user1 @
email.com
user2 @
email.com
user3 @
email.com
Then in PHP this get posted to, something like:
if ( is_array($_POST["EMAIL"]) )
{
// Loop through each...
foreach ($_POST["EMAIL"] as $key => $email_addr )
{
// send your email to each user...
}
}
This way you can simply add more email input fields to the form over
time
and the code will always work with it...
I'll leave the email sending as an exercise for the reader, there are
ample
good examples on php.net's doco about this.
Cheers, Andrew

RE: [PHP] Maybe a silly question
It's commonly seen in OOP (Object Oriented Programming)
and allows you access to an objects data by name of the
entity within the structure.
I find it really useful for mysql/php work.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * From Personal_Details WHERE
USER_ID='12345'") ;
$data = mysql_fetch_object($result) ;
print "My name: " . $data->full_name . " and email are : " .
$data->email_addr . "" ;
And full_name and email_addr are field names in the
database table... so you don't need to worry about $data[0] being the
field
you expect it to be should you go an change the table layout with ALTER
TABLE.
Cheers, Andrew
