mail problems

[dominant]

I want to create a script that uses the mail function like that

 While(something true) {

mail($each_email,$each_subject,$each_text)

}

I noticed that the above script takes some time to send a single mail. But, the email addresses will be many and the time will increase.

Have you got any idea how to reduce the time to send the branch of emails?

seperate the emails with semicolons ( ; )

[dominant]

$query=mysql_query("SELECT email FROM users");

while($result=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {

$AllTheEmails.=$result[email].";" ;
}



mail($AllTheEmails,"subject","text");

Will this work or not(because the last last semicolon will be located after the last address)?

[benkillin]

might work, you could always trim the last charicter off if it doesnt.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

mail("email1;email2;email3;","subject","text");

only the email1 recieved the mail 🙁

[benkillin]

try putting a space after the semi-colon

[dominant]

again the same problem 🙁

mail("email1; email2; email3; ","subject","text"); 

[dominant]

It worked by typing

mail("email1, email2, email3, ","subject","text");

[benkillin]

well, then I was wrong about semi colons... it seems The powah of M$ has took me in! (MS outlook...)

so... use commas!
