emils not looping through recordset

Hi
I've created a recordset on a pag, applied the 'create email message' - used the 'recordset loop and selected the email field for the recordset.

However, the same email is being sent multiple times to one recipient, rather than individual emails to each individual.

(I've rebuilt the page twice from scratch and followed the instructions to the letter, with the same results)

Any help much apreciated.
Thanks
Chris

In DW, edit the recordset and test it, send a screen shot of the recordset test.

In the universal email wizard, you have the to address using the MemEmail column, judging from the screen shot, you want to be using the BusEmail column instead.

I know - I've put the MemEmail column in as a temporary things whilst testing - which is a good job I did!

When it works, the MemEmail column will be removed and the BusEmail renamed MemEmail

but it does work, the MemEmail column uses the same email multiple times, I only see about 4 addresses in that column....

Yes, the emails are sent to all the 4 different test addresses - but the content of the emails is identical; all relate to 'Tim Freeman', the first result in the recordset.

I see, that was not clear in the initial message.


In the email body template file, add the following code at line 1:

php:
<?php

global $RecipArray;
global 
$RecipIndex;
?>



the n to refer to column from the recordset, use the following:

php:
<?php echo($RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0]["[yourColumnName]"]); ?>




where [yourColumnName] is the name of the column, for example:

php:
<?php echo($RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0]["FullName"]); ?>

This is using the DW Edit option for creating the email message, instead, select the option to create a file for the email message and selct one of the templates, then edit the template to include the code from my previous reply.
