Add 2 different variables in a variable, not concatenation

Question

$user_subject = 'new order';
$email_us = $_REQUEST['email'];
$name_us = $_REQUEST['name'];
$phone_us = $_REQUEST['phone'];
$qut = $_REQUEST['qut'];
$message_us = $_REQUEST['message'];
$email = "[email protected]";
$message = '<HTML><body dir="rtl">';
.
.
.
.
if(mail($email, $user_subject, $message, $headers)) {
$mess_err = "Successful message";  
}

I am trying to send a message to multiple e-mails. I have tried:

$email = "[email protected]"; "[email protected]"; 
// in this case is taking first one only

$email = array("[email protected]", "[email protected]");
// in this case it send me an error like: Warning: mail() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

tried also converting it to string:

$emails = array("[email protected]", "[email protected]");
$email = array_shift($emails);

// in this case doesn't work at all

Please help me on this. I need to send a message to 2 emails instead of 1. How do i do this?

are you using phpmailer? Or better, which method are you using to send the email? — Tommy

$emails = array("[email protected]", "[email protected]");
$email = array_shift($emails);

try this:

$emails = array("[email protected]", "[email protected]");
$email = implode(",",$emails);

As per the PHP mail documentation, you have to use string concatenation, it seems.

From the docs:

The formatting of this string must comply with » RFC 2822. Some examples are:

[email protected]

[email protected], [email protected]

User <[email protected]>

User <[email protected]>,Another User <[email protected]>

You can concatenate strings with a dot:

$email = $email1 . "," . $email2;

or, if you have the emails in an array, you can use join:

$addresses = array("[email protected]", "[email protected]");
$email = join(",", $addresses);

which will then set $email to [email protected],[email protected]

Multiple recepients will be comma separated, like so-

$email_id = "[email protected], [email protected]";

If $email_ids is an array of email ids, then

$email_id = implode(', ',$email_ids);
