mailing list with PHP/MySQL

Hello,

I am currently trying to develop a webpage that will allow the user to send emails to all the recipients that are located in a MySQL database. For instance, say there are 3 entries in the database at the moment. I want to be able to go through the database and look for those emails and then send them using the php mail() function. How would I do that? I already have my database created and the data inserted I'm just having some trouble figuring out which would be the best way to retrieve the data and send the email (from a form, obviously). Thanks in advance.

well iterating through the a mysql table is very simple

 

$sql = "Select email from mytable";

$query = mysql_query($sql);

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){
//mail script here
}

 

I'm assuming you already know how to get data through a form. if not here is a tutorial: http://www.tizag.com/htmlT/forms.php
