I didn't code this originally or I would've used a SQL JOIN to combine two tables of data instead of hitting the database a second time for each record encountered as my other programmer did. So, I'm going to revise the scripts for future use and then do as someone said and save all the e-mail addresses to an array (and perhaps even free the result set) before sending.
Thanks!

Ah... I was trying to lookup the word "timeout," which was giving me nothing. Thanks! Also, shouldn't I be receiving an error message if the script is, in fact, timing out? I have checked "display_errors" and it is turned on.

Hello Ben,

I'm trying to run a query against a database with a PHP script that cycles through each record (about 4,000+) and sends and e-mail to them if they have an e-mail address present. The problem is that everytime I do this, it processes about 430 records and stops. There is no error message generated. Could this be due to a script timeout? If so, how do I raise the timeout value?
Look up set_time_limit in the PHP manual. Also, consider retrieving all the records first with a single db query, storing all e-mails in an array, and then sending out the e-mails in a separate operation. Why query your db 4000+ times when you can query it only once?
Good luck,
Erik
