RE: [PHP-DB] Recommendation needed: a php/mySQL program to batch e-mail announcements

2002-04-30 Thread Rob Day

why not just use a mailing list manager (i.e. majordomo, ezmlm, etc.)?
writing a web interface for users to subscribe/unsubscribe would be no big
deal.

Need:

Users can register to receive announcements automatically.
And unregister.

Admin can generate simple messages and send to all on the registry
[e.g., meeting planned for 5 May 2002 at Joe's house]

Thanks

majordomo and ezmlm would provide more power and cause more headaches than
he needs.

What he describes is very basic and can be done in less than 5 hours.
-  1 hour to create sign-up screen with db update, including test
- 30 minutes to create un-register screen with db update, including testing
- 1 hour to create admin send message screen including testing
- 2 hours systems test, general debug, minor enhancements
