Hi people,
I wrote a PHP program that sends E-mail to 121 E-mail addresses at
once [http://www.speedy.net/knesset/]. The problem is, it takes many
seconds until the program completes sending all the E-mails. I want
to give the user an instant feedback, and send E-mails later (after
the HTML output is complete). How do I do it? Can I postpone the
mail sending function? My program calls sendmail 121 times, and I
think that's the only slow part of the program. The rest is quite
fast. Can I call sendmail in such a way that PHP will regain control
right away? Or alternatively, can I run another PHP script in the
background?
Below is my mail sending script.
Uri.
<?php
$tmp_addresses_clone= $tmp_addresses;
// Flush the output buffer.
ob_flush(); flush();
$tmp_count= count($tmp_addresses_clone);
while ($tmp_count > 0)
{
$tmp_random= rand(0, $tmp_count - 1);
// Open Mail Command.
$tmp_mail_command= '/usr/sbin/sendmail -f ' . $tmp_email . '
' . $tmp_addresses_clone[$tmp_random] . ' > /dev/null 2>&1';
$tmp_mail_file_pointer= popen($tmp_mail_command, "w");
if ($tmp_mail_file_pointer)
{
// Print mail header.
fputs($tmp_mail_file_pointer, "From: " . '=?UTF-8?B?' .
base64_encode($tmp_name) . '?=' . ' ' . '<' . $tmp_email . '>' .
"\n");
fputs($tmp_mail_file_pointer, "To: " .
$tmp_addresses_clone[$tmp_random] . "\n");
fputs($tmp_mail_file_pointer, "Subject: " . '=?UTF-8?B?' .
base64_encode($tmp_subject) . '?=' . "\n");
fputs($tmp_mail_file_pointer, "MIME-Version: 1.0\n");
fputs($tmp_mail_file_pointer, "Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=UTF-8\n");
fputs($tmp_mail_file_pointer, "\n");
// Print mail body.
fputs($tmp_mail_file_pointer, $tmp_content . "\n");
fputs($tmp_mail_file_pointer, "\n");
// Close file.
pclose($tmp_mail_file_pointer);
}
echo ($tmp_addresses_clone[$tmp_random] . '<br>' . "\n");
$tmp_addresses_clone[$tmp_random]=
$tmp_addresses_clone[$tmp_count - 1];
unset($tmp_addresses_clone[$tmp_count - 1]);
// Flush the output buffer.
ob_flush(); flush();
$tmp_count= count($tmp_addresses_clone);
}
?>
