Very good example. However, just for constructive criticism, I would do this instead:

PHP Code:


			
$emails = array("email1@aol.com","email2@aol.com","email3@aol.com");

$subject = "Hello";

$body = "Message Here";

$headers = "From: Billy";



foreach($emails as $e) {

  if(!mail($e,$subject,$body,$from)) {

    die("Error in sending mail);

  }

}

This way, if you do choose to send it to many people, spam blockers won't interpret the huge mailing list as a spam email. You can also use the last argument in many different ways other than "From". Based on the smtp protocol, you can do much more with it. see http://php.net/mail for more information.
