CReating Effective Email Script?

[deth4uall]

Hey guys I am trying to make an email script for my game site, but now that the member number has risen i believe it is crapping out because BCC can only fit so many into the email... How Can I make it to where I can email every player, even if there is a couple thousand people?
thanks!

Coding I have so far wrote:

if (isset($POST['send_mass_mail'])) {
$subject = $POST['subject'];
$tmessage = $_POST['message'];

$sql = "SELECT `email` FROM `UserInfo`";
if ( !($result = $db->sql_query($sql)) ) {
  die('Failed to query database.');
}


for ($i=$start;$i<$mysql_num_rows($result);$i++) {
  $player_email .= mysql_result($result,$i,"email") .",";
}



  // To send HTML email, to all players in game
  $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
  $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
  $headers .= 'From: [email][e-mail][/email]' . "\r\n";
  $headers .= 'BCC: ' . $player_email . "\r\n";
  $subject = "Elemental Fury Mass Email: " . $subject;
  $to = "[e-mail]";
  mail($to, $subject, $tmessage, $headers);

}

here is the code for it!

I think you have to adjust some of your php timeout settings in your .htaccess file.

Also, if emailing is a frequent task for you, consider this software. I use it for many of my clients and it works great!
