RE: [PHP-DB] mail() - is there a limit?

Thanks! 1 question: If I use set_time_limit(0); - will this override my hosts timeout setting if there is one? olinux -----Original Message----- From: Luke Muszkiewicz [mailto:lmuszkie@puredev.com] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2001 4:29 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] mail() - is there a limit? olinux: I do not know the answer to your question. However, I would alternatively suggest that you send the email to each person individually. That is to say, loop through your recipient array and use mail() to send the message to each recipient, as opposed to creating a bcc array and then sending one email. This solution will take longer to execute -- you may in fact need to adjust the maximum program execution time via set_time_limit() -- but each recipient will receive an individual email, which, I think, will make your message look more personal. Plus, you no longer need to consider the number of addresses in the bcc field.
