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. Sigitas
