Ben, how you approach this will depend on how you have the data stored. Let's assume two things: you have the e-mail addresses and names in a database and know how to retrieve and store them into the variables $email and $name. That said, create the body of your text: $body = " Dear $name, Here are recent developments on our web site... etc. "; Then use the mail function (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php) to send the letter to the person like this: mail($email, "Site update", $body, "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"); The next thing you'll probably start wondering is how to send fancy e-mail instead of those generic text based ones...
