Hi all, I am trying to serve a small text file to my users with a download. I need a flag to use to detect whether or not the file was downloaded fully or crashed/aborted before. Here's the code I've found from working on other sites. Currently, it allows for download. But I see neither the first echo 'Welcome' nor any of the other echos (Success/Fail). What is going on here? Thanks! function sendTest() { $res = null; $res = sendFile('testimage.gif', 'image/gif'); if ($res['status']) { // Download succeeded echo "Success!"; } else { // Download failed echo "Fail!"; } return; } function sendFile($path, $contentType = 'image/gif') { ignore_user_abort(true); header('Content-Description: File Transfer'); header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' .basename($path). "\";"); header("Content-Type: $contentType"); header('Expires: 0'); header('Cache-Control: public, must-revalidate, max-age=0'); // 1 hour $res = array('status' =>true, 'errors' =>array(), 'readfileStatus' =>null, 'aborted' =>false); ob_clean(); flush(); $res['readfileStatus'] = readfile($path); if ($res['readfileStatus'] == false) { $res['errors'][] = 'readfile failed.'; $res['status'] = false; } if (connection_aborted()) { $res['errors'][] = 'Connection aborted.'; $res['aborted'] = true; $res['status'] = false; } return $res; } echo "Welcome"; $res = sendTest(); echo "Done";

Hi all, I have a dedicated server and can setup any mail server (sendmail, postfix, etc...), I am trying to figure out how to set up for mass-mailing for subscription newsletter? How should you batch emails? Is there any simple to use schedulers/batchers available? -walter

More specifically, I am currently using PEAR's sendmail() and will need to perform mass HTML email campaigns from a variety of FROM-email addresses. These are legitimate email marketing pieces through subscriptions, not spam. I am somewhat concerned of how to set-up the server to send out mass emails but to avoid getting blacklisted or spam filtered. My questions: 1) Timing restrictions on PEAR side or on receiver-end (i.e. Do I need to worry about volume to avoid Gmail blacklist?). 2) Any specific header set ups? 3) Any required email formatting? 4) Other details to ensure highest reliability and greatest speed?

I need to send out 1,000 emails as fast as possible. Does anyone know any timing restriction on sending emails from PHP, PEAR? Do I need any delay between sending each (10 or 100) emails?
