Attempting to build a mass-texting (multiple cellphone recipients) code, using an html form and a php engine.
Side note: My pastor sends a daily text (using a cellphone app) to 300+ subscribers, but only some arrive. Some only receive one or two a month. Often he sends to me 5 to 10 times a day before I get one.
The "answers" I've seen for similar issues just confuse me more. I am a novice; I do not even completely comprehend the instructions for asking questions.

Just tell me how to correct line 41. or what to add elsewhere. Please do not tell me to use phpmailer, unless you tell me exactly (in non technical terms) which lines to change and how, as it results in error 404 with no info as to what file/directory is missing.
Note: sender is constant. recipients are constant (subscriber list)
