[PHP-DB] mail problem
hi
i made a simple script to send e-mail to my mailing list
it reads the e-mails from a text file and send it to them
the problem that i want to send them once, not one by one which takes a lot
of time cause i have a limited quota per day
here is the script
?php
$subject=subject;
$sendmessage=hi;
[EMAIL PROTECTED];
$fp = fopen(mails.txt, r);
if (!$fp)
{
echo pstrongcan't Read emails.
.Please try again later./strong/p/body/html;
exit;
}
while (!feof($fp))
{
$mail= fgets($fp, 200);
mail($mail,$subject,$sendmessage,From: $from);
echo $mail.br;
}
fclose($fp);
?
can anyone help
and can i use a smtp server instead? and if yes please tell me how,
waiting for a reply
thanks for your time
RE: [PHP-DB] Mail problem
Could you not simply extract all the email addresses from the DB as you
would any other data, then loop thru the result set calling PHP's mail()
function for every record retrieved?
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
extract($row);
//Presume's '$email ' is the name of the field in which email addresses
are stored in your DB:
@mail($email,$from,$subject,$body);
}
or am I missing something??

Sorry to be a little bit off topic.
I need a tool or script in PHP, that will automaticaly send e-mails to
receipients taken from database.
For example 1 the same e-mail to 1000 receipients. B
Mail server is on different machine.
Thanks in advance

Of course, but
PHP is on Linux machine where I don't have sendmail, because my
mail server is on different machine, and that's my problem

RE: [PHP-DB] Mail problem
Just looking at our php.ini file and we use an external machine to send
mail with when calling the mail() function.
I think you just need to change the directive for the path/URI to the
mail server you wish PHP to use, in your php.ini file.
HTH :-)

If you can't, all you can do is to use some PHP SMTP client code to send your messages. In this case you may want to try this class that is optimized for queuing messages for many recipients as you need. http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass You are strongly recommended to put all recipients in Bcc: because queuing via SMTP is much slower than using a local mailer like sendmail and it would take you a long time to queue if you send separate messages for each recipient. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
