[Ricken]

Hello,

I have build this little php script with help of a friend :

<?php

include('smtp.php');
$smtp = new SMTP( 'xxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxx' );
$num = 50

$data = file_get_contents('mailadressen.txt');
$mails = explode(';', $data);
foreach($mails AS $num => $mails)
$smtp->send( array($mails), 'Testmessage', 'Test1' );
sleep(5)
header(??)
?>

this script have to took 50mail adresses out of the 'mailadressen.txt', send them mails, then wait 5sek and took the next 50 mailadresses and do the same. with the smtp and mail ist no problem, but the header() What is the tag ? and is the script ok ?

Sorry my english please!

Best Regards
Ricken

Your code, not post, was confusing to me ... so I made this from scratch. It is untested, but should work as a valid exampe.

emails.txt

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

email.php

<?php
  //set file to be used
  $file = 'emails.txt';
  //setup open handle
  $handle = fopen($file, 'r');
  //read data
  $data = fread($handle, filesize($file));
  //break data into an array
  $addresses = explode('\n', $data);

  //setup loop
  foreach($emails as $key => $value){
    mail($value, 'Subject', 'Message', 'FROM: [e-mail]');
    //setup sleep action every 50 messages sent
    if($key % 50 == 0) sleep(5);
  }

  echo 'Script complete.';
?>

I'm guessing that in

$smtp->send( array($mails), 'Testmessage', 'Test1' ); 

array($mails) is supposed to be an array of fifty emails.

header() doesn't do anything you want.

include('smtp.php');
$smtp = new SMTP( 'xxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxxx' );
$num = 50

$data = file_get_contents('mailadressen.txt');
$mails = explode(';', $data);
$mail_batches = array_chunk($mails, $num);
foreach($mail_matches AS $batch)
{
    $smtp->send( $batch, 'Testmessage', 'Test1' );
    sleep(5);
}

You may want to use set_time_limit, otherwise you won't be able to send more than about three hundred mails.
