I wrote something for windows once that was cool. I could run a script that would reach out to superpages.com, it would recursively get all companies names/address/city/emai/url, etc from my state. It would then store them in the db.
A seperate process would run based on the db content and and MS Word Template would create the mail merge interacting with MS Word. The end result would be a word document i could print, it was a mail merge document so it was about 200 letters addressed to different people. I also had this process create the word document for the envelopes too. Run the process, print, stuff, send ;) However that only worked on windows but boy did it save me time. End result? People throw away mail like this lol I think i got 1 client from 400 mailings. I think i trashed this code and was going to create something similar that was less resource intensive and would use PDF, but it was a learning experience using COM from within a php command line script :) -- Joseph Crawford Jr. Zend Certified Engineer Codebowl Solutions, Inc. http://www.codebowl.com/ Blog: http://www.josephcrawford.com/ 1-802-671-2021 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
