$carriers = array('verizon'=>'@vtext.com','tmobile'=>'@tomomail.com','sprint'=>'@messaging.sprintpcs.com','att'=>'@txt.att.net','virgin'=>'@vmobl.com','textnow'=>'@textnow.me','metro'=>'@mymetropcs.com','unknown'=>'@teleflip.com');
							if (array_key_exists($carrier, $carriers))
							{
								$correctCarrier = $carriers[$carrier];
								$i = 0;
									While($i < $_POST['amount'])
									{
										$i++;
										$formatted_number = $to.$correctCarrier;
										$result = ("$i of Your Messages Has been sent to the number ". $_POST['to'] . ".<br>" . mail("$formatted_number", "$subject", "$message") . "");
									}
								mysql_query("INSERT INTO `msgssent` (`number`, `numberofmsg`, `subject`, `message`) VALUES ('". $formatted_number ."', '". $i ."', '". $subject ."', '". $message ."')") Or die(mysql_error());
								Echo $result;
							}

Where is $carrier set?

[Mod-Jay]

Upper part of the code, It gets the carrier but it doesnt find it in the array.

does it hit inside of the loop...try putting an echo statement at the beginning of the if statement...also are you sure that $carrier is the value you are expecting...you might wanna try echoing it as well.

if (array_key_exists($carrier, $carriers))								
{	
CorrectCarrier = $carriers[$carrier];

 

At the top of your php file you are setting an array in $carriers but your saying array_key_exsist($carrier... so where are you setting your array keys in $carrier, because as it stands now you're basically looking for a key that is NULL in your $carriers array.

 

so maybe this would do it:

 

 $carrier = array_values($carriers);
if (array_key_exists($carrier, $carriers))
{
CorrectCarrier = $carriers[$carrier];

 

I'm still working on array's so this may not be correct but hey I'm giving it a shot!

Actually the code i have works fine. I found the problem by echoing the 2. It actually doesnt put the number together, On the variable formatted Number, Is there a correct way of doing it?

[ngreenwood6]

Maybe you should clarify better because I am confused as to what you are talking about. However, I did notice that you have a variable you are using as $to but do not see it set anywhere and somewhere else you use $_POST['to']. Is the $to supposed to be $_POST['to']?

[Mod-Jay]

its set above all that

Also everytime i send something it leaves a '1' at the end of the message. 1 of Your Messages Has been sent to the number ***.1 , idk why its doing it though

Because your concatenating a call to the mail() function onto the end of your $result string and mail() is returning true (1).

How do i fix it?

[trq]

Move the call to mail() out of your echo statement.
