[jjk2]

i want to delay this from sending to quick.

 

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$sql_server = 'localhost';
$sql_user = '';
$sql_pass = '';
$database = '';

$before_id = ''; //This is what you want to go b
$after_id = ''; //This is what you want to go afte
//$after _id = ''; This is what you want to go after 
$domain = 'yahoo.com'; //This is what you want after the @.  
//Just to show where things go for the addresses.  <before_id><id><after_id>@<domain>
$subject = 'Hi'; //Subject Line.
$message = '

message goes here

';


$db = mysql_connect($sql_server,$sql_user,$sql_pass);

<identifier> is a preset search you defined.
<newsearch> is the search link you wish to add to the list.

Example:

'.$argv[0].' id1
OR
'.$argv[0].' --add test http://chicago.craigslist.org/search/stp?query=m4m&minAsk=min&maxAsk=max

If you want to list all current searches, use '.$argv[0].' --list

';}

i dont see how to quick could be a problem but you can use sleep($a_time_in_seconds); to delay your script for a while
