loop sending email twice to each recipient – why?
Hey Gurus
I just can’t see anything about the loop in this script that would cause an extra email to be generated for each row in the recordset. As usual, I’m pretty nervous about exposing my self-taught coding. All the includes but one are for page formatting; that one is PHPMailer, and maybe it’s doing something I don’t know about. I have verified that everybody gets the email twice. Any ideas?
