Hi,
I suppose you should check if the values in $staff array are clear of
special chars.
Try trim()'ing them before sending to the functions. Otherwise use
var_dump($staff ) or print_r($staff ). Thy're quite handy while debuging.
Just a remark... the code here connects to smtp server, sends data and
disconnects N times - this is not quite efficent. SMTP protocol allows to
specify multiple recipients of single message in single connection (Of
course, this means you won't be using any mail() from PHP library...). Still
it's no problem as long as the list is reasonable in size.
