Emailing from a list

[Anon]

Hi, I have a list of my users in a text file. The list is like this in a testfile:-

[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]

How do i set a program to mail all the users by getting each email from the list, email the user and then get the next and so on!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

$name = 'Julian Chamberlain';
$email = '[e-mail]';
$subject = 'This is the email subject';
$body = 'This is the body of the email';

<?
$email_list = file ('email.txt');
foreach ($email_list as $value)
{
$mail = mail (
$value,
$subject,
$body,
"From: $name <$email>"
);
if (!$mail) {echo 'could not send mail';}
}
?>

I get this error

Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function foreach() in /usr/users1/themanor/public_html/email.php3 on line 9

Thanks

huh? foreach is not function, it is a language contruct for looping thru arrays. The code below worked perfectly on my server (PHP 4.2.1 / Apache / FreeBSD):

<?
$name = 'Julian Chamberlain';
$email = '[e-mail]';
$subject = 'This is the email subject';
$body = 'This is the body of the email';

$email_list = file ('email.txt');
foreach ($email_list as $value)
{
$mail = mail (
$value,
$subject,
$body,
"From: $name <$email>"
);
if (!$mail) {echo 'could not send mail';}
}
?>

Nope, still get the same error:

Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function foreach() in /usr/users1/themanor/public_html/email.php3 on line 8

Any help would be great.

sorry, got it working, but it sends 3 emails now and the the 3rd is the one that is the one i want to send to everyone. Why is it sending them 3 times? The code i am using is:-

<?

$count = "0";
$name = 'Free Mobile Phone Stuff!';
$email = '[e-mail]';
$subject = 'Ringtones, Screensavers, Picture messages, Voicemail, logos and lots more! ';
$body = 'Visit the nets most comprehensive resource for mobiles! http://www.anthemtones.com ';

$email_list = file ('email.txt');
foreach ($email_list as $value)
{
$mail = mail (
$value,
$subject,
$body,
"From: The RingTone company!"
);

echo "Message sent to $value";
echo "$count";
$count++;

if (!$mail) {echo 'could not send mail';}
}
?>

Cheers mate.
