Hi Max,
Luckily this particular client is on my server, so there are lots of
options. Although ideally I'd like something that's easily portable.
I am guessing by this you mean shared hosting? Its a bit of a hack but maybe:
An asynchronous request pulling batches of emails from a queue in the
database and sending them.
After each batch is complete update a progress bar so the user isn't
just left waiting.
Does that make sense?
I ended up with something like this, with JQuery repeatedly calling the
script via AJAX and generating a progress bar.
But yes it would be a lot nicer to have some kind of job system style
daemon thing.
It shouldn't be to hard to upgrade what I've done to something like
this. Marks suggestion of TheSchwartz looks like it would be ideal.
