Re: F/U on mail () problems

Dear Anthony, [I've put this back on the list, because others know far more about *nix and email than I do] BTW: people will respond more readily if you include a reassurance that you are emailing a 'membership' list or its some sort of client opt-in situation - not spamming! > Thank you for your reply! > > 1 - The host server runs Apache under Unix. My computer (where I call the > scripts to be executed by the server) is Windows 98. There are differences between the handling of email on a *nix server (cf a Windows box). Regardless of your Win98 client, the server is Unix and that's what's important. In the php.ini file [mail function], do you have the sendmail_path set correctly? I assume you do, because of what you have said elsewhere, but just for info, what does it look like? > 2 - Yes. The script works if the # of e-mails is small. Do you know which email server package is in use? - again, just for info. > 3 - No. The loop gets one e-mail address and sends the e-mail message one > at a time. Throw in an EXIT; immediately before the end of the loop, and see if you can get the first msg out! I've re-read your first msg, and the "URL not found" part. Are you sure there's no server error, or typo involved? I must admit I was expecting to see a time limit exceeded message! Because you are using Unix, you should assign the result of the mail() call somewhere, and inspect it - you may be getting back some illuminating errmsg from the email server interface. It may be that you are overloading the PHP mail() to sendmail interface with rapid looping - others with practical experience should comment here. There are a couple of strategies. Hope we're getting closer to a solution! =dn > Here's a copy: > > <?php > $connection=mysql_connect("localhost","wagner","xxx") or die > ("No > connection!"); > $db=mysql_select_db("sbwresearch_com",$connection) or die ("No database!"); > > $message="Dear consumer,\n ... etc ...\n"; > > $qry_1="select e_mail from con_inf"; > $result_1=mysql_query($qry_1,$connection) or die ("No query # 1!"); > while ($row_1=mysql_fetch_array($result_1, MYSQL_ASSOC)) > { > $e_mail=$row_1["e_mail"]; > mail("$e_mail", > "News from SBW Research", > "$message", > "From:SBW Research <mail@sbwresearch.com>\n"); > echo "$e_mail<br>"; > }; > mysql_free_result($result_1); > mysql_close($connection); > exit; > ?> > > Thanks! > > Anthony Rodriguez > (sbwi@bellatlantic.net) > >
