I don't know how the data should be formatted for AddAddress PHPMailer function; I need the email to be sent to multiple recipients so I tried
$to = "[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]";
$obj->AddAddress($to);
but with no success. Any help will be appreciated.

You need to call the AddAddress
method once for every recipient. Like so:
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]', 'Person One');
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]', 'Person Two');
// ..
To make things easy, you should loop through an array to do this.
$recipients = array(
'[email protected]' => 'Person One',
'[email protected]' => 'Person Two',
// ..
);
foreach($recipients as $email => $name)
{
$mail->AddAddress($email, $name);
}
Better yet, add them as Carbon Copy recipients.
$mail->AddCC('[email protected]', 'Person One');
$mail->AddCC('[email protected]', 'Person Two');
// ..
To make things easy, you should loop through an array to do this.
$recipients = array(
'[email protected]' => 'Person One',
'[email protected]' => 'Person Two',
// ..
);
foreach($recipients as $email => $name)
{
$mail->AddCC($email, $name);
}
All answers are great. Here is an example use case for multiple add address: The ability to add as many email you want on demand with a web form:
See it in action with jsfiddle here (except the php processor)
### Send unlimited email with a web form
# Form for continuously adding e-mails:
<button type="button" onclick="emailNext();">Click to Add Another Email.</button>
<div id="addEmail"></div>
<button type="submit">Send All Emails</button>
# Script function:
<script>
function emailNext() {
var nextEmail, inside_where;
nextEmail = document.createElement('input');
nextEmail.type = 'text';
nextEmail.name = 'emails[]';
nextEmail.className = 'class_for_styling';
nextEmail.style.display = 'block';
nextEmail.placeholder = 'Enter E-mail Here';
inside_where = document.getElementById('addEmail');
inside_where.appendChild(nextEmail);
return false;
}
</script>
# PHP Data Processor:
<?php
// ...
// Add the rest of your $mailer here...
if ($_POST[emails]){
foreach ($_POST[emails] AS $postEmail){
if ($postEmail){$mailer->AddAddress($postEmail);}
}
}
?>
So what it does basically is to generate a new input text box on every click with the name "emails[]".
The [] added at the end makes it an array when posted.
Then we go through each element of the array with "foreach" on PHP side adding the:
$mailer->AddAddress($postEmail);
foreach ($all_address as $aa) {
$mail->AddAddress($aa);
}
Some great answers above, using that info here is what I did today to solve the same issue:
$to_array = explode(',', $to);
foreach($to_array as $address)
{
$mail->addAddress($address, 'Web Enquiry');
}
