Mass Mailing From Database
The code takes all the email addresses from a database table and sends out email to each of them using the mail() function. I'm hosted on a virtual host, so I can't change any INI files or anything to stop the script timing out. I tried putting set_time_limit(0); at the top of the file, to no avail. My options appear to be: 1) Get a Perl script to do it (I can't program in Perl, or find one to do it.) 2) Get some kind of list software (this needs to be in Perl, as I can't install anything on the server. Also it needs to be free, and must work with my existing system (a MySQL database)) 3) Get around the time-outs in PHP (I'm not sure how)

Selecting With PHP And Mass Mailing
I work as the sysadmin for a local ISP. I need a way to access some information from our database of stories we post on the site each day. I'm going to write a script that will access the database and grab the last 7 entries that were entered. I'm not sure how to go about selecting this information. Also, I used to have a simple perl script that would open the dir of the users, and send an email to each name that was a name of one of the directories and I guess it appened the @domainname.com on the end. In other words, I could have a file on the system that I needed to send and I ran a script that sent this file to each customer we had as if they were the only ones to receive it. I'm not sure how to recreate this.

Best Ways For Mass Mailing
I would like to understand which are the best ways to send bulk mailings like for newsletters and so on ( not spamming, always to receivers who opt-in ). I am not looking for code for now , I have found some very interesting classes and I also have my own scripts, I just want to know all the options available and why one is better of another . So, if have to send just a few copies to, say, less than one hundred people I can use the mail function, If I have to send , say, 20 thousand emails I will have to hire dedicated mail servers, but what if I have to deliver a few hundreds emails ? What is usually the max limit using my shared hosting before moving to a dedicated mail server ? What is the best way ? maybe splitting the delivery in batches using the default mail ( sendmail ) or by SMTP ?

MASS MAILING CRISIS
I need to make a program that will be capable of sending out a blast email to 3,000-50,000 users. I previouslly made a program that used the mail() and a while loop, and it made the server crash and or produced errors. As i have recentlly discovered many people seem to think that the mail() wont be good enough for this number of emails. I have also researched for two days on sending it with SMTP and have not figured that out yet. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make a program capable of blasting out 3,000-50,000 emails?

Kron Job / Automated Job - Mass Mailing
I need to know what strategies are available for the following situation, I have an automated emailer sending out approximately 1700 emails out and growing in numbers. Problem is that the ISP only allows me to send out 500 per hour, so I need to create some sort of automated software or get it somewhere that would send out 500 emails everyhour. Another problem is that I dont want this to be browser based. Because this would take approximately 4 hours and also the client's always on the move so cant expect to have a browser open for 4 hours.

Mass Emails
what is the best way to send out mass emails. I was thinking of having a database table with just the users email, and then a foreach( mail() ) loop. Is this a good way to do it, or is there a better way? Will this get me blacklisted in any way?

Send Emails Out To A Mailing List.
i want to send emails out to a mailing list. its takes 2 emails (right now, probably 50 when im done) from the database and sends out and email. then it submits a hidden form to the same page after it sends two emails. it then grabs the next 2 and sends those out. it does this till all emails are sent out. so basically it sends 2 emails, submits hidden form back to the same page, then send 2 more emails out. it does this till all emails are sent. my problem is that while the script is executing none of the html is output and visible in the browser until the $mailer>send() is done. and when it appears it only appears for 1 sec then disappears.

Mass Mailing Script/waiting For Script To Finish.
I have built a newsletter/mass mailing system that loads templates, supports multiple newsletters and mailing lists, etc. The problem I have is this: I start a query loop which pulls the persons name and email address from a mysql database, populates the template for that newsletter then sends the message using the phpmailer class. The script takes ages (hours) to execute when your sending to 10,000+ people and so the window has to stay open till the script finishes. Is there a way to start this process running and continue script execution without having to wait for all the messages to go before finishing script execution?

Sending 2 Emails At Once
I'm using the following line in a PHP script, to send a visitor an email from my web page. The $_POST['email'] variable is whatever they enter as their email address into a form: mail ($_POST['email'], 'Title ', $body); I also would like the same script to send a little email to me at the same time, with a short message to myself - not the main body variable shown above. Could anyone please explain what I should add into the above code? All I really want is to receive their email address.

Sending Emails
My Hosting Service only allows me to send 250 emails/hour so I send an email every 15 seconds when sending a newsletter. I use a cron job to start the script at 9am and it should keep this script running until it finishes 10 000 emails(newsletter subscribers). After sending each email I log this in a MySQL db. And in my monitor I see that it stops after sending a various number of emails: 100, 400, 1000, 2300 or whatever(it never send all the 10000 emails). I have set up the maximum execution time variable to 0. Still, I have no idea: why does my emailing script stop? I've watched it myself a couple of times. It shows me no error. The browser just stops from loading after sending a number of emails. (error_reporting is set to 53 - no notices - notices shouldn't stop the script) Also, I have set the abort_user_ignore variable to true.

Sending Too Many Emails
I have a script that takes information from one table (ufJoin) and using its results grabs information from two other tables (users and feeds). Using the information gathered then utilizes a pre-made function and sends an email. For example: ufJoin contains userid 1 and feedid 1. So the script looks in the users table for the userid matching 1 and takes their email addresses. The script then looks in the feeds table for the feedid matching 1 and takes its url. The table ufJoin will contain more than one entry per user. Meaning, more than one URL is to be used. The URLs found are then attached to a pre-made function and emailed. It sends a new email for every URL instead of just the one! How can I stop this from happening?

Sending HTML Emails In PHP
I have a form that my customers can complete, and based on their answers, a results page will display. There are many if/elses in the page to display the proper results based on their answers. This works beautifully. Now my problem: I'd like to send them an email with their answers. I'm using the mail() function, and it works fine sending them the email in HTML format when I put static text in there like "Hello World!". However, I need to be able to perform if/then statements and include files into that email based on their answers. I can't get the includes to work at all. Can anyone offer me some insight here?

Sending Multiple Emails
I have a little problem with sending multiple e-mails to multiple people. I can't just add recipients onto the "To:" because each e-mail will be different for each person I am sending to. I have a page sending me multiple variables that relate to different users. Then I go through those variables with a loop, get the related e-mail address, get other info related to that person and other info relating to that variable out of the database and try to send it. It seems to do it and I even get a mailsent - i.e. $mailsent = mail(); - of 1 for all of them, but only the first email ever gets sent. PHP Code:

Sending Lots Of Emails

I'm using a web form to populate the email, then just the normal mail function to send, looping round once for each email (i.e. a separate call to mail() ).

Server Isn't Sending Emails
It's not a problem with a specific email service. There are people from hotmail, gmail, aol, yahoo and a few others who haven't received the validation link, but others with the same email service have. I have signed up with 2 of my gmail accounts and my hotmail account and I received the validation email each time, and it never shows up in the spam folder. When I set-up the domain on the server I did nothing to the mail server settings, I just left it with the default settings and it seemed to be working fine, but obviously not. I don't know jack about mail servers, so is there something I need to do to make sure all email are being sent? Code:

Sending Emails With Delay
i have 300 subscribers. According to my hostings provider mail policy, i can send 200 emails in one hour. So its 18sec/1email. So what are my possibilities? 1. I can send emails using set_time_limit(0) + sleep(20). 2. Set some cronjob. Using first method, would force me to have browser window opened for ~1.5h... Not an option. So i guess using cronjobs would be the best thing to do here. But how to invoke/destroy cronjobs from a PHP script. I dont have any shell acc and safe_mode is on.

PHP Sending HTML Formatted Emails
Just so this is out there on the web, I battled the past 24 hours about this. Background info... I developed a ecommerce website in PHP 4 on a shared linux hosting plan from GoDaddy and had the html formatted emails sending as text/html and were going fine with limited header information. Then we moved the site over to a Dedicated Linux hosting plan. This time, it's PHP 5. Things are bound to not work as expected moving to a new programming language. So what worked in PHP 4: $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . ""; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . ""; Now needs to be (at least what worked for me) in PHP 5 $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"; $headers .= "X-Priority: 3"; $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: php"; For the life of me I could not figure out why text/html formatted emails were always sending as plain text and all the information was shown in the body text using the PHP 4 method.

Sending Lots Of Emails In The BACKGROUND?
I'm building a 'job posting' site of sorts. When a job is available in a particular state, I want the system to send an email to everyone who is 'watching' that state. I know how to do this, but I need to figure out a way to 'send the emails in the background' - ie: if an administrator adds a job to Wyoming, I don't want them to have to wait for the php script to finish selecting and e- mailing everyone watching the state before the administrator can move on and do other things. I originally thought that passing this task to the PHP command line would do the trick, but it turns out that a script like... exec("my php script that emails people"); echo "complete!"; ....does not echo "complete!" until the thousands of people have all had their info passed to the mail server (a long time). I suppose that I could get rid of this by just lumping everyone together in the Bcc: field of a single e-mail message, but at this point I'd like to keep that as a last resort and go with the personalization ("Hi James... a job has been posted in Wyoming"). Does anyone have any thoughts as to how I can send the emails without preventing the administrator from doing other tasks until the script has finished executing?
