PHP :: Mailing List Manager, Send To List

Mailing List
I am really interested in putting a mailing list on my website. I have only just discovered php and mysql and I found a program called php list on my cPanel X control panel on my website.

I would like to put a text box on my navigation bar that has inside it "enter your e-mail" (when they click this disappears) and a button on the right of that which says "join" (I will have a jpg underneath this text box saying "Mailing List").

When someone clicks on "join" I would like them to get sent to a page with the e-mail address field filled out in the right table with what the address they entered in the navigation pane, along with a name field they can fill out and a Submit button.

I have seen these on many websites so I assume it is not that hard to do, but I am pretty lost as to how everything is connected (the database (mysql?) and the php list program).

I assume when they click submit it will send their details to a mysql database / send them a confirmation e-mail.

I was wondering what code I will need to make this system work, as I have been reading and googling and I am quite lost as to the mechanics of how it all works.

PHP Mailing List Problem
Here's the problem: I've been trying to send to my mailing list using a PHP script, but the page that executes the send times out before the script can actually send to everyone on the list; only about the first half gets sent to.. Is there any possible way around this or to stop the browser from timing out?

Writing Mailing List In PHP?
what's the best way to write a simple mailing list program? If one tries to send email to over 600 addresses using mail(), a usual script will most likely timeout.

So, the question is, what's the best way to sendout email to over 600 ppl?

Php Mailing List-> Performance
i wrote a php script that sends mail to a list of email generated from a database.
this database contains about 8000 email adresses and depending on what the users chose in their preferences it sends out mail accordingly. in general this would come down to roughly 6000 emails per list.

the script iterates through the list of email addresses and send out a new email to every email address found that fits the mailing type. the box doing this is an athlon 1400Mhz.

now, my question, how heavy will this be for sendmail? i can imagine that this will take some time before all 6000 emails have been send. php is set in the ini to time out after 30 seconds and maybe this script will be running for longer than that with 6000 emails to send. i could test this but i dont think all of those people would be very happy receiving test emails.

also, i could send just one mail with all those email addresses stuffed into the Bcc header but i dont know if that would make difference and if the php mail() function likes 6000 mail addresses in the Bcc header. anyone with experience with sending large volumes of mail like this have some advice for me?

Php Mailing List Operation
I'm using the mail() function to send out newsletters to subscribers,
problem is that it seems a little unreliable...
at the moment I assemble the mail outside a loop then iterate through
all the mail addresses
for($i=0;$i<$numaddresses;$i++){
mail($to[$i],$subj,$message,$fromstr);
}
should i be putting in a delay message or a retry_on_fail method or
anything?

Subscription Mailing List
Im building my first php site and what im looking for is a simple
tutuorial / example of a form which allows users to enter their email
address, which is stored in my Mysql db.

Also need to know how to go about mailing everyone who subscribes to
my news letter.

I know its probably quite simple, but i'd like to check for duplicate
email addresses, verify email addresses (dont know if that possible)
and allow them to un-subcribe.

Mailing List Using MySQL / PHP
I have written a database which uses PHP to run through each ID in the
database and then generate a persons name and address to include into the
rest of the PHP to send an email out.

But as people have deleted or updated their details on this mailing list, I
now have "holes" in database. Ordinarily not a problem, but the code I've
written starts at ID 1 and after sending an email increments to the next
ID. But when it encounters a now vacant ID, it sends an error email to me
associated with that now blank ID row of data.

How can I change my code that will increment through all the results in
turn, but not give me these error emails when people have amended the
database?

Mailing List Script
Where I can find siple mailing list written in php and mysql ?

Timeout Mailing List?
i heave a mailing list with just over 700 people on it. on page one i have a form for newsletter to be typed in, then the person submits the form and the next page has the php to send out the newsletter to all the email addresses in the database.

my problem is that the page times out and an connection error occurs, so i don't think everyone in the list gets emailed. how do i get around this problem?

Php Mailing List Script
I need a php mailing list script, can anyone recommend one? preferably OS if possible.

Dynamic Mailing List?
I have a schedule of people that need reminders sent to them weekly. I have figured out how to set a Crontab to send the reminder automatically ... but the people are not the same every week. I know that I could build multiple scripts and hard code the email addresses, setting a cron job for each - but is there any way to build ONE script that will read a text file based on the date and pull the names/email addresses off of that?

Making A Mailing List
I have tons of members on my website, and I want to e-mail them all, but I do not want add all their names to a address book or e-mail them individually.

So I was wondering after I flush(Erase) the database, when the user register the "script" will auto adds them to a mailing list, so I can download the mailing list and add it to my address book and e-mail them all at once.

If there is a script already out there, can I have it?

Key Code Generation For Mailing List
I want to send a unique url to each member of my mailing list for mailing list removal purposes. I see this done all the time, but I'm not sure how they do it. I want the user to click on the link at the bottom of their email, which takes them to a page where they confirm there removal from the list.

It doen't have to be super secure, its just a personal site, I just don't want idiots going in and guessing random addressess trying to get them removed from the list.

Remove From Mailing List Via Variables In URL
i have often joined other mailing lists and i notice that when emails are sent out there is usually an option to delete your email from the mailing list.

i was wondering which is the best way to go about this. would it be a matter of sending a link in the email which is something like...

http://wwwmysite.com/deletemail.php?somebody@somewhere.com

deletemail.php being a simple script that takes that email addy and deletes it from the database? or is there a better way to do it?

Adding A Mailing List To Vbulletin Registration
I have added yes and no buttons to an option called bsmailinglist in the form for registration on my forums. Now I want to have that answer handled according to the following code. I have the yes button set to TRUE and the no button set to FALSE. After adding the folloing code to the script that handles the form (register.php), I get a parse error on the last line of php, the closing php flag. Code:

function BSwrite ($email) {
$BSfile = "bsmailinglist.txt";
$BSopen = fopen ($BSfile, "a");
if ($BSopen) {
fwrite ($BSopen, "$bsmailinglist, ");
fclose ($BSopen);
} // end BSwrite Function
if ($bsmailinglist) {
BSwrite();
}

Is It Very Difficult To Setup A Simple Mailing List?
I've seen and been on mailing lists where there are a bunch of people on it, but, when you reply to "the list" you are actually replying to something like, "mailinglist@widgets.com". So I want to setup something like this for a special project. I'm imagining that when the server gets an email to "mailinglist" that it would basically just re-send the message to everyone on the list.

Is this very difficult or even advisable using PHP's mail function?

Php Sending Mails To Mailing List Show Strange Headers
i need to send a mail to one mailing list address.when i sent to this the from address comes as newsletter-request@abc.com; on behalf of; ABC[abc@abc.com]
where newsletter@abc.com is the mailing list id abc@abc.com is the moderator id

when i change the to address to any other email address other than this mailing list, the from field works fine. i have given the mailing list, in the Bcc header.

List Contents Of A Folder, Make List Of Links
Does anyone know how I can write a script that:

- reads in all the files in a particular directory
- displays the file names in a html list and makes a link of them:
<ul>
<li><a href="filelocation1">filename 1</li>
<li><a href="filelocation2">filename 1</li>
<li><a href="filelocation3">filename 1</li>
</ul>

etc.?

So basically it creates a list of links with the contents in that directory,
so you can download them from there.

Get List Of Messages From One Table, Message List Indicator From
I have two tables. One has a list of messages left by users using fields named mbxno for the mailbox and msgno for the message number. I have another table that has mailbox settings for each user that contains a field named "messagelist" to indicate if they want to be included on the message list or not.

What I'm trying to create is a list of the most-recent messages with a lookup on the users table to indicate whether a message in the list should be included in the message list based on the user's mailbox settings.

SELECT messages.msgno, messages.mbxno, users.messagelist FROM messages, users WHERE (users.messagelist = Ƈ') ORDER BY msgno DESC LIMIT 100

What I'm getting, though is a list that looks like this:

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1

I think what's happening is that I'm using the wrong type of join and more rows are being created than necessary.

If I add "DISTINCT" to the query, I get a list of the most-recent messages as I expect, but the "messsagelist" value is sometimes wrong (again, probably because the data is getting jumbled). For example, the messagelist value for the second row (2214) should be 0, not 1.

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2214 msgno: 0412141622 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2189 msgno: 0412141408 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0003 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2265 msgno: 0412132029 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412131950 msglist: 1

How should I be doing this? If nothing else, what kind of join will work with a long list compared to a value from a short list?

Populating A List Box Or A Dropdown List Using Php And Odbc
I need to populate a list box and/or a dropdown list on a form. I have all
the bits and pieces together, all bar the code which takes the result of a
query and creates a list box.

Mailing Form - Can't Get It To Send
I tried going through your sample code and that didn't work either. If a field isn't filled out properly the error message comes up as intended, and after I submit the form it redirects me to the correct website as intended. However, the email of the form information is never being sent back to me. Code:

Looking For A Highly Modular Time Manager/task Manager System
I'm looking for a highly modular time manager/task mananger which is
(of course!) written in PHP.

Any suggestions?

Btw. the system shall be open source developed under a GNU licence or
such as we - a web developing tem - plans to fiddle with the code and
integrate it in another to-come content management system...

Using List
when my form is loaded i populate a list with a database query. now when user selects a value from the list. on "onChange" another query runs and other fields on the form are populated according to the value selected by the user but at this time when page is loaded again and the fields on the form are filld. every thing goes write but the select list doesn't have the same value selected that was selected by the user...the selected list shows the default valuse selected instead.

i want to know that how can we do this that when we select a value from the list and page is populated using this vale and refreshed then again i want to see the selected value in the list box not the dafault value.

Mp3 List
I can't figure why I can't list only mp3 files with this code :

<?php
$dir = opendir(".");
while($file = readdir($dir)) {
$ext = getFileExtension($file);
if ($ext = "mp3") {
echo "<a href=" .$file.">".$file;
echo "<p>";
}
}
closedir($dir);

function getFileExtension($str) {
$i = strrpos($str,".");
if (!$i) { return ""; }
$l = strlen($str) - $i;
$ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l);
return $ext;
}

?>

Buddy List
I have a community, now it´s time to upgrade and make a buddy list. Ive started wtih the file that ask´s the other member for a relation. The code looks like this PHP Code:

Problems With List()
I am having some problems with the list() function. Here is some code:

<?

$USERDB = fopen("users.db", "r");

while ($line = fgets ($USERDB, 4096))
{
list ($name, $occupation, $favcolor) = split ("|", $line);

print ("Name: $name<br>");
print ("Job: $occupation<br>");
print ("Favorite Color: $favcolor<br>");
}

fclose ($USERDB);

?>

And here is whats in the text file: Van Tate|Software Engineer|Green

Now...when I execute the script I get this error: Warning: bad regular expression for split() in /var/www/html/v2/getusers.php on line 7.

List Constants
A little embarrassing but: is there any easy way to echo (the name and
value of ) all defined constants?

Drop Down List
I want to read a directory for available files and then get the filenames and put them in a drop down list. Whatever the user will select will be the value of the variable $selected. I already found the code to read directories: Code:

Loop Through A List
I want to loop through a list and display it in a table with three columns per row, yet haven't had much luck in doing so. I was thinking if would be something like so Quote:

for ($x = 0; $x < mysql_num_rows($query); $x++) {
if ($x / 3) { ?>
<tr> <? } ?><td> Blah </td></tr></table>

Well, that's as much as I know so far.

Add Number In List
I am outputing a list of 10 values.

10, 20, 30, 40, etc

I can add 15 to one of the values then reorder the values from smallest
to highest but i want to update every single value and assign it values
increamenting by 10

so after the update the second number of 20 and add 15 I get

10, 30, 35, 40

now i want to re output the values above as

10, 20, 30, 40

PHP Link List
On a page from Thredz (http://www.thredziii.com) I saw a script (it's not on anymore...cause he didn't want the script to be on his page) and I love it...

It's a script that makes it possible that on a page links are sorted ALPHABETICALLY with the first letter of the "URL name"... (take a look on Thredz' site to c what I mean,K?)

Then people got 2 have the abbility to fill in a small form, ON THE SAME PAGE WHERE THE LINKS ARE ON, where they fill in 2 fields;
#1 = Name of the Site ($sitename)
#2 = URL of the site ($url)

When they fill out it form I want the PHP-script to put the information away as a link (in a *.txt-file...if possible)
<A href="$url" target="_blank">"$sitename"</A><br>
(something like this??? I'm not sure......)
These links have to be sorted alphabetically (on the site's name,$sitename...

I don't know how this works or how I have to make something like this... Could somebody please help me and give me a bit of help with it? Some explaining would be gr8 but the script written for me is the best wish I have.

Dropdown List
I have a Dropdown list with Select with 1, 2, 3, 4, after select on of them it bust to refresh the page to what you select but it don't do it. PHP Code:

Getting List Of Newsgroups Via Php
I am trying to write a PHP script that will download a list of all
the newsgroups on a news server and put them into a MySQL database.
I bought a $50 book that had some NNTP examples in it, but none of
them show how to just download the groups, not the articles. I tried
on my own for about 2 hours with no luck. If someone can point me in
the right direction to download the group list using PHP, I think I
can figure out how to write it to a database.

Php And Drop Down List
I am coding an email form on a site. A user enters their name and contact email and then selects from a drop down list to which particular email the message should be sent: User1, User2, User3. Then the user types out a message and hits submit. My problem is that I am unsure as to how to grab the selection in the drop down list and pull the selection and place it like this: "$selection@domain.com". Here is the php code:

PHP Shortand List
Is there a place where I can find a list of all the shorthand/shortcuts in PHP's syntax. IE: $_POST, $counter++, etc? Anyone know?

Getting A List Of Newsgroups With PHP
Does anybody know of a quick and dirty way that I can connect to a news
server, retrieve a list of all newsgroups beginning with alt. (or comp., or
blah., or wibble., doesn't really matter), and also the newsgroup
descriptions, and then dump them all in an html file?

While(list => Checkboxes
I wanted to print out checkboxes for those which are checked when form is being submitted. Whilst, this is my function: PHP Code:

Select List
I'm creating a form that has three select lists. The first one has two values EMAIL and SMS. What I want to do is have the two other select lists (named EMAIL and SMS) work so that if EMAIL is selected only e-mail select list can be altered and vice versa with the SMS.

How can I do this? I know to use disabled in <select> -tag, but how can I check the what the value is (and the value changes) and then act acording to it?

Best Way To List Pages A - Z
I now have my emulator site up and running, no longer html but php! Even my vote script now works, thank for all your input. Now I want to have roms on my site for download, but it's a fair long list so you have to devide in sections a - z or something.

Can this be done in a way to create those pages with php/mysql instead of have to write html files for every emulator roms page from a to z? If anyone have done this before I would like to here what the possibilties are.
