Hi all, I thought str_replace caused slow down of my mailing script, but it seems to be this line of code: $fd = implode("",file("http://www.domain.org/store/min/Mailing_template.html") ); I first put the mailing template in $fd (only once) and then replace (str_replace) elements of it to individualize HTML emails. Btw i’m using php version 4.0.6. Are there better(faster) ways to read the contents of a file? Thanks! Fré
