The only thing I couldn't figurate out related to the mail() function is how it is possible (if it is anyway) no to send the mail real-time, but process it in the background somehow. I needed to send around 8000 emails to my users at some server and each mail body had to contain different modifications, specific to the user, so I have put the whole thing into a while loop, and inside the while() I created the message body then sent the mail. The only problem was that it started to send the mail one-by-one, so the execution time was very long, which as I know can be lengthened by set_time_limit() within the while loop, but in the other way I would have to wait the whole time sitting in front of the browser window waiting for it to be finished. If anyone has a clue around this please submit it, I hope the set_time_limit helped some people that had similar problem, however it is not a final solution... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33423 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33423&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33423&report=yes
