How to send mail to multiple recipients in Yii mailer?

This code is working for a single recipient but not for multiple recipients.

$mail_ids = $_POST['invitefriend'];
                $name = Yii::app()->user->getName();
                $mail = new YiiMailer();
                $mail->setFrom(Yii::app()->params['mailFrom'], $name);
                $mail->setTo($mail_ids);
                $mail->setSubject('Mail subject');
                $mail->setBody('Simple message');
                $mail->send();

Thanks in advance!

In Yii Mailer documantation was written like that : Setting addresses

When using methods for setting addresses (setTo(), setCc(), setBcc(), setReplyTo()) any of the following is valid for arguments:

$mail->setTo('john@example.com');
$mail->setTo(array('john@example.com','jane@example.com'));
$mail->setTo(array('john@example.com'=>'John Doe','jane@example.com'));

If your $mail_ids is a string veriable like 'john@example.com , jane@example.com' you can parse by explode For example:

$emails = explode(',' , $mail_ids);
$mail->setTo($emails);
