[PHP] Loop though email list

2001-08-14 Thread Erich Kolb

I am a total newbie, so please forgive the simplicity!

I have a huge list of email addresses in a text file and also in a MySQL DB
that I would like to use PHP to loop through and send an email to each one
of them. How do I loop through a text file using each email in the txt file
as a seperate email address and send a message to that address?  Or would it
be easier to just do it from a MySQL DB? If so, How??

With mysql:
$connection = mysql_connect("host","user","pass");
$db = mysql_select_db("db_to_use", $connection);
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY email ASC");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
$email = $row["email"];
$name = $row["name"];
email(EMAIL_FUNCTION_STUFF);
}

for a file i would do something like this:



for the mysql db it would be something like this (this is probably a
little off):



I hope this helps. I'm sure it probably has a syntax error or something
but you get the point. :-) Welcome to the happy world of php!
