Email using delimited string

Question

Hi all,
Im having trouble when i try to e-mail muliple people using HTML DB.When i enter one email address in the :P25_OWNER field,the email works fine,but when i enter more than one address,no email is send to either.Currently my code looks like this-
for c1 in (select owner
from project
where ID_NUMBER = (select max(ID_NUMBER) from project)) loop
if c1.owner is not null then
HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND(
P_TO => :P25_OWNER,
P_FROM => :P25_OWNER,
P_BODY => 'The Project '||:P25_PROJECT_NAME||' has been created '||chr(10)||
P_SUBJ => 'Project '||:P25_PROJECT_NAME||' has been created');
end if;
end loop;
i also tried returning a string so that i could email the entire string but got the same problem with this-
DECLARE
l_string VARCHAR2(255);
l_vc_arr2 HTMLDB_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
BEGIN
l_vc_arr2 := HTMLDB_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(:P25_OWNER);
l_string := HTMLDB_UTIL.TABLE_TO_STRING(l_vc_arr2);
HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND(
P_TO => l_string,
P_FROM => l_string,
P_BODY => 'The Project '||:P25_PROJECT_NAME||' has been created '||chr(10)||
P_SUBJ => 'Project '||:P25_PROJECT_NAME||' has been created');
END;
but i had the same problems with this.
What i want is to have a user enter more than one email address into the text field :P25_OWNER and be able to send an email to each address.Can anyone help with a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Brian.

Hello Brian,
i've had a similar problem:
P_TO:= '[email protected];[email protected]'
failed. If i use a ',' instead of ';' as delimiter it works fine. So try it like this:
P_TO:= '[email protected],[email protected]'
btw, if you use HTMLDB_UTIL.TABLE_TO_STRING you'll get something like this:
P_TO:= '[email protected]:[email protected]'
hope it helps
