PHPMailer\PHPMailer

PHPMailer::addOrEnqueueAnAddress() │ protected │ WP 1.0

Add an address to one of the recipient arrays or to the ReplyTo array. Because PHPMailer can't validate addresses with an IDN without knowing the PHPMailer::$CharSet (that can still be modified after calling this function), addition of such addresses is delayed until send(). Addresses that have been added already return false, but do not throw exceptions.

Method of the class: PHPMailer{}

No Hooks.

Return

true|false. true on success, false if address already used or invalid in some way

Usage

// protected - for code of main (parent) or child class
$result = $this->addOrEnqueueAnAddress( $kind, $address, $name );
$kind(string) (required)
One of 'to', 'cc', 'bcc', or 'ReplyTo'
$address(string) (required)
The email address
$name(string) (required)
An optional username associated with the address
