PHPMailer sends email 3 times to each user


When I run below code it fetches email from the database and sends mail 3 times to each user. I don't know what's wrong in my script. Can anyone help me to solve this issue?

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require 'vendor\autoload.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer(TRUE);

include 'connection.php';

$result = mysqli_query($conn,"SELECT * FROM `newspaper_subscriber` WHERE 
status = '1'");

if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {    
while($rows = mysqli_fetch_object($result)) {

    $emails[$rows->subscriber_email] = $rows->subscriber_email;
}
}
foreach ($emails as $row) {
        $mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'xyz');
        $mail->Subject = 'Weekly Newspaper';
        $mail->Body = 'For unsubscribe email us at 
        [email protected]';
        $mail->AddAddress($row);
        $mail->isSMTP();

        $path = __DIR__."\/01.pdf";
        $mail->addAttachment($path, "newspaper.pdf");
        $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
        $mail->SMTPAuth = TRUE;
        $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
        $mail->Username = '[email protected]';
        $mail->Password = 'xyzxyz';
        $mail->Port = 465;
        $mail->send();

}

Solution

  • you have to clear address as in loop it will preserve existing address

    so use something like this in loop also

      foreach ($emails as $row) {
          $mail->ClearAddresses();  
          $mail->ClearCCs();
          $mail->ClearBCCs();
          //rest of the code
