mail()-ing to 3000 users..

I use a function to send mail using PHP SendMail to about 3000 users, the problem is, I always recieve an error message because the processing takes too much.

Is my email recieved by all my users and it's just a browser issue?

or

How can I make it work decent?

Rep will be added, thanks!

 

What type of hosting do you have?

 

try batching ?

something like ...

on http//www.yourdomain.com/sendmail.php you push the send button, it sends a headerlocation=http://www.yourdomain.com/sendmail.php?begin=0

your script sees the $begin value, and processes say 1000 email and after that it redirects you to headerlocation=http://www.yourdomain.com/sendmail.php?begin=1000 and so on

it will keep sending your emails and frefreshing your page as it goes

hope that'll help

 

try something like this

for($x=0;$x<=10000;$x++)
{
	echo $x."<br/>"; // send a mail instead
	@ob_flush();
	flush();
}

PHP:

 

Check out the set_time_limit() function

 

Thanks guys
