How can PHP mailer be used to send an email to several recipients at once in PHP?

edit

To send an email to several recipients at once using PHP mailer, you can use the following steps:

1. Import the PHPMailer library using the code below:

use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

require 'vendor/autoload.php'; // This will load the PHPMailer library

1. Instantiate the PHPMailer class:

$mail = new PHPMailer(true);

1. Set the SMTP access details:

$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // This can be changed to any SMTP host
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'youremail@gmail.com'; // Your email address
$mail->Password = 'yourpassword'; // Your email password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Port = 587;

1. Set the email details, such as the sender, recipient, subject, and content:

$mail->setFrom('youremail@gmail.com', 'Your Name');
$mail->addAddress('recipient1@example.com', 'Recipient 1');
$mail->addAddress('recipient2@example.com', 'Recipient 2');
$mail->Subject = 'Email Subject';
$mail->Body = 'Email content goes here.';

1. Use the send() method to send the email:

if ($mail->send()) {
  echo 'Email sent successfully.';
} else {
  echo 'Unable to send email. Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}

By adding multiple recipients with the addAddress() method, you can send the same email to several recipients at once.
