I suggest looking into something like the Pear engine or Curl. Using mail() with that many emails is going to bog down your server and will hang the script until the process completes. You could also consider doing batches of emails instead of doing them all at once. [/quote] can you please elaborate on the doing batches of email instead doing them all at once? how would i go about doing that? also i have read on other websites about using sleep() to delay the message, but using that still hangs the script right? the user cannot re-use the form until the that script is completed? i have also read about connection directly to the SMTP server.....but i am not familiar as i am n00b in all of this, if u can elborate also that would be fantastic Thanks!!

Hi All Sorry if this is a commonly addressed question but is there way to create php script/function that will automatically edit a TXT file in the same directory at a specified time? my use for this is that I have a webpage where it shows a bunch of threads (kind of like a bbs) and then I want to be able to insert a big horizontal break after each day, so it nicely separates each days postings is it possible to coordinate with the server clock and at the beginning of everyday at 00:00:01 it will automatically edit that webpage and pop in the daybreak line thanks!
