note 31922 added to ref.mail

Here's a function I'm continually working at to send multiple emails while only opening the socket once (much faster than mail()) while sending a separate email to each address. It also includes many headers which you can adjust to your liking. Note the comment which explains the array format for incoming "To:" addresses. function socketmail($toArray, $subject, $message) { // $toArray format --> array("Name1" => "address1", "Name2" => "address2", ...) ini_set(sendmail_from, "myemail@address.com"); $connect = fsockopen (ini_get("SMTP"), ini_get("smtp_port"), $errno, $errstr, 30) or die("Could not talk to the sendmail server!"); $rcv = fgets($connect, 1024); fputs($connect, "HELO {$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}\r\n"); $rcv = fgets($connect, 1024); while (list($toKey, $toValue) = each($toArray)) { fputs($connect, "MAIL FROM:myemail@address.com\r\n"); $rcv = fgets($connect, 1024); fputs($connect, "RCPT TO:$toValue\r\n"); $rcv = fgets($connect, 1024); fputs($connect, "DATA\r\n"); $rcv = fgets($connect, 1024); fputs($connect, "Subject: $subject\r\n"); fputs($connect, "From: My Name <myemail@address.com>\r\n"); fputs($connect, "To: $toKey <$toValue>\r\n"); fputs($connect, "X-Sender: <myemail@address.com>\r\n"); fputs($connect, "Return-Path: <myemail@address.com>\r\n"); fputs($connect, "Errors-To: <myemail@address.com>\r\n"); fputs($connect, "X-Mailer: PHP\r\n"); fputs($connect, "X-Priority: 3\r\n"); fputs($connect, "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"); fputs($connect, "\r\n"); fputs($connect, stripslashes($message)." \r\n"); fputs($connect, ".\r\n"); $rcv = fgets($connect, 1024); fputs($connect, "RSET\r\n"); $rcv = fgets($connect, 1024); } fputs ($connect, "QUIT\r\n"); $rcv = fgets ($connect, 1024); fclose($connect); ini_restore(sendmail_from); } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31922 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31922 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31922
