Hi guys,

            Any could tell me How to send mass mails i.e., sending the same

mail to hundreds of users..

It depends on the local mailer system that you can use. The best solution is to use a system that just queues the message without delay so your PHP script does not hang waiting for the mailer to deliver. Just let me know which OS and local mailer (Sendmail, qmail, postfix, exim, MS IIS, Exchange, etc..) do you use so I can advise.

            I have tried sending the mail by keeping all mail id's in an

array and repeated the loop until the array length and the other one is I concatenated all the mail id's to CC.

You could put all recipients in Bcc: but that usually makes your messages be tagged as junk by some Webmail systems like Hotmail. So, it is safer to queue separate messages to each recipient even though it takes longer. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html
