I took a guess at the missing code above and hopefully fixed it. I do get the jist however and once I try it I'll post up my definite working code for anyone else who's interested

Email me if you want some advice

FYI, If you download version 2.0 released yesterday you'll find a templating plugin which is for doing simple replacements in the mail body on a batch send. I've not quite sorted it to replace strings in the headers yet but this should become available in future versions. It does what you want in terms of customizing the email for each recipient.

No documentation for the plugin given that it was just released yesterday but this is the essence of it… note the name changes in version 2 – I don't particularly like it but it's PEAR standards and people have been asking for it


<?php
$addresses = array(' "Chris Corbyn1" ', ' "Chris Corbyn2" ', ' "Chris Corbyn3" ');
.
$tpl = array (
array ('foo' => 'First email'),
array ('foo' => 'second email'),
array ('foo' => 'third email')
);
.
$mailer->loadPlugin(new Swift_Plugin_Template($tpl));
.
$mailer->send(
$addresses,
'"Your name" ',
'Some Subject',
"It's only me! and this is my {foo}!!!"
);
.
$mailer->close();
?>

Sounds like a good solution, not something that crossed my mind to be honest. I think I forget the usefulness of javascript at times despite using it so much pre-PHP times!

Thanks for the additional option

Using just my normal PHP mail code with an email personalised with names, login links etc (drawn from a database or from an array) and sent out by using a simple loop and javascript refresh passing the user_id to get the next email to send every couple of seconds. It just opens in a browser and sends until complete or until the browser is closed.

Easy peasy and not very intense on the server either.
