I’m running Buddypress Version 2.9.2.

I have a need to send messages to multiple recipients from one sender.

I do this thru php.

My code is below.

When I have less than about 11 receipients the procedure works.

When I have 12 recipients the page seems to hang and it creates 2 messages to each recipient.

I’ve put echo messages to debug in bp-messages-functions.php and without a debugger can’t see what’s happening.

I was successful sending from one sender to a large array of recipients.

The problem with that is it’s a group message and one recipient replies they reply to all the recipients and the original sender.

<?php
//$arrayTrainers = [118,120,122,123,124,131,132,133]; //works

$arrayTrainers = [76,77,81,82,118,120,122,123,124,131,132,133]; //doesn’t work

foreach ($arrayTrainers as $Recipient) {

$args = array(
‘sender_id’ => $Sender,
‘recipients’ => $Recipient,
‘subject’ => $subject,
‘content’ => $longcontent

);

$lastThread = messages_new_message( $args ) ;

} //foreach

?>

messages_new_message() accepts an array argument. “recipients” can be an array of user IDs. Try this:

$args = array(
    'sender_id'  => bp_loggedin_user_id(),
    'recipients' => array( 76, 77, 81, 82, 118, 120, 122, 123, 124, 131, 132, 133 ),
    'subject'    => 'Test subject',
    'content'    => 'Test content'
);
messages_new_message( $args );

Yes that method works fine for me.

I was successful sending from one sender to a large array of recipients.

The problem with that is it’s a group message and one recipient replies they reply to all the recipients and the original sender.

That method is a message conversation between one sender and all the recipients.

If a recipient replies the other recipients get that reply.

I want many one way conversations, not one conversation with many.

I ended up writing my own code to send messages.

Now I can send many messages as needed for my website.

I suspect this in a php plugin issue when it gets in a longer for loop since when I have larger numbers to loop thru the code seems to take much much longer.

I think I’ll put my code in a plugin.

If someone has this issue again.

It may be something in my code also.

But I don’t know how to debug step thru the php code on a web page.
