Re: Loop though email list

for a file i would do something like this: <? $file = file ("addressfile.txt"); foreach ($file as $address) mail ($address, "subject", "message", "From: you@yourhost.com"); ?> for the mysql db it would be something like this (this is probably a little off): <? $mysql = mysql_pconnect ($server, $username, $pw); $res = mysql_query ("select * from addresses", $mysql) or die ("something went bad"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($res)) { mail ($row["address"], "subject", "message", "From: you@yourhost.com"); } ?> I hope this helps. I'm sure it probably has a syntax error or something but you get the point. :-) Welcome to the happy world of php! - Dan On Tue, 14 Aug 2001, Erich Kolb wrote: > I am a total newbie, so please forgive the simplicity! > > I have a huge list of email addresses in a text file and also in a MySQL DB > that I would like to use PHP to loop through and send an email to each one > of them.
