RE: [PHP] Mailing List

Allowing scripts to run without some kind of time limit may not be prudent, but settling for the timelimit imposed on online web pages is not reasonable either. I would recommend you reset the time limit to something reasonable to perform your email tasks on the computer you have available. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php As long as you don't have a "run away" program, I can't think of any reason not to allow it to have the time it needs to get the job done.

I have a database containing email address of my clients along with other details. How can I send them mails ? If i write a script containing the mail function and loop the address, I think that might generate a script timeout error. I feel increasing the script timeout is not a good solution. I would like to know how you manage such situations. I feel this is a common problem but i didnt find any solution on the net. Do I need to use any sw or are there any already available scripts. Thanks a Lot !! Long Live PHP !! Thanks & Regards, ___________________________ PHPLover "Göd döësn't pläy dícë." - Älbërt Ëínstëín
