Custom Messaging System

[system]

Hi there.

I am currently working on a custom in-house messaging system which will allow you to send a message to up to 10 other users. I can get messages to send and be received no problem. My issue is with multiple recipients.

All the users are stored on a database with a unique ID number and username. The ‘send message’ form, has 3 fields: recipient, subject and message. The messages are also stored on the database.

Is there a way I can input multiple usernames into the recipient field, separated by a comma, rather than keep adding another field for each recipient?

Multi-step process:

1 - explode the to field
2 - count the number of entries in [ 0 ]
3 - if count is more than 1, use a loop and put all the associated email addresses in an array
4 - loop through the array, sending the message to everyone individually.
4.1 - if the count is 1, skip the array, run the query to get the email and send the message.

Your headers, subject and message are outside of this loop
