I was just wondering where I could get a reasonably large set of sample data to demonstrate my mailmerge type program, and this will serve the purpose nicely. It will also enable me to test it on a much larger set of data than my laboriously assembled private address book (which has 666 entries). (My program worked well with the 500 entry file, but had serious problems with the 5000 entry file. However when I cut this back to 1700 entries it again worked correctly, though it was a bit slow.) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Good source for sample data?
The US Census Bureau has lists of first names and surnames online with a breakdown of their frequency within the US population. It was very simple to extract just the names into arrays. We found it quite useful for generating database records for testing. YMMV.

Hey all - I need a few million sample contact records - name, company, address, email, web, phone, fax. ZIP codes and area codes and street addresses should be correct and properly formatted, but preferably not real people or companies or email addresses. But they'd work if you did address validation or mapping.
