Multiple email recipients from a database

Hi I’ve got a simple database containing name, email and opt-in info.

I’ve created an email template and I have been able to send a test to each of the email address’
However, I would like to add the recipients name to their email but when I add a recordset to the email template I get an error...
“Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in D:\Domains\mccarthy-design.com\wwwroot\HGYO\eNOV10.php on line 38”

when I remove the recordset, I don’t get the error

How do I add the name field without a recordset?

Try changing the require_once into require for the connection folder. It could be that your connection folder is already included somewhere else on the page.

OK, that got rid of the error message, thanx.


I've added the code to display the name
<?php echo $row_rsMAIL['mlNAME']; ?>

however, this is always displaying the first name in the database what do I need to do to add the relevant name from the database to each email?

Try replacing

$row_rsMAIL

with

$RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0]

I've tried that....
<?php echo $RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0]['mlNAME']; ?>

I've also tried
<?php echo $RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0]; ?>

and nothing appears

Can you please send me your page that includes the Universal Email server behavior in addition to the email template that is located in the webassist/email folder.

here's the email send page and template

Thanks.

It looks like you are using a file as your email template. Therefore we have to make some variables global in order to use them.

On the top of your eNOV10.php page paste the following piece of code:

<?php
global $RecipArray;
global $RecipIndex;
?>

Let me know if this does not work.

that did it,

many thanks Dani
