Hello!
I have two subtle and quite complex tasks I want to accomplish in PHP:
1/ Create a mass-mailer (with statusbar showing the percentage done), capable of mailing around 30000 emails (html) at once.
2/ Create a script that will generate a whole lot of static pages (with statusbar also) from database information.
What should I be aware of when building those two things?
Are there any good examples already made in the PHP jungle?
How do I prevent the server from crashing when building PHP pages during 30 minutes (respectively emailing for 30 minutes)?
Will the process stop if I click on the browser stop button? If yes, how do I solve that problem?
Should I use a PERL cron script instead?
How do I build the status (percentage) bar? (with successive echos I suppose...).
...?
I only have some vague ideas of how to accomplish what I want to do.
Thank you for your help.
