Base different in mail function

[maheswaran]

Hi all,

What is the base different to the flow below

first

 $headers .="cc: [e-mail],[e-mail],[e-mail]";
 mail($recipient, $subject, $adminmsg, $headers."\r\n");

Second

 foreach($mailids as $mailid)
{
$recipient="$maild";
mail($recipient, $subject, $adminmsg, $headers."\r\n");
}

what is base different and which is the best method to send bulk mail

@maheswaran
in my opinion Swiftmailer's batchSend() method.

when using mail() the second one, because the privacy is kept.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there any functionality difference?. Like If use first one then mail function called only one time, if choose second one then mail function called number of time depends on loop?. just i want to know , if we use first method to put cc: to number of persons, is mail function called only once for all mail ids in cc or mail function would call number of time depends on mail ids putted in cc..?

the mail() function itself is called only once in the first case, but I dont know how sendmail (the program that actually sends the mails) handles this.
