(i have $seconds_to_send set to 0.) I suggest you put the "put mail in the db" and the "send mails in the db" code in two different scripts. Please look at the Mail/Queue.php source to see an usage example. the first part is the same for storing AND sending the emails, then you have to write one of the following sections, depending on what you want to do: ***************************************************************** * // TO ADD AN EMAIL TO THE QUEUE * ***************************************************************** (LINES 60-85) OR * ***************************************************************** * // TO SEND EMAILS IN THE QUEUE * ***************************************************************** (LINES 86-94) HTH Lorenzo
