[SOLVED] Issues with my email script

[ninjamonky]

I have created this small script to email rows from mysql database.

 

 

<?php

include_once('include/database.php');            // Database connection details

include_once('include/database.class.php');          // access database functions

$db=new database(DBHOST,DBNAME,DBUSER,DBPASS);    //  database connection

 

$sql=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY newsId LIMIT 0,5") or die (mysql_error());

while($del=mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)){

$id = $del['newsId'];

$content = $del['content'];

$title = $del['title'];

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

?>

 

<?php 

mail( "someguy@gmail.com", "$title", $content, "$headers" );

 

 

$sql3="DELETE FROM news WHERE newsId='".$del['newsId']."'";

 

 

$res=mysql_query($sql3)or die (mysql_error());

 

}

 

?>

It works great just like i wanted, sends 5 email from table 'news' based on ascending numbers in row 'newsId'.

 

but i would like to make a change now, i would like the script to send one email each to different email id's from the row "email" in the table "emailaddress" randomly.

 

So that in case there is only 3 rows of content in "news" table the email is sent to random 3 email address from the table "email address".

 

I have tried lot of things but i just can't find any working solution.

I'm sorry I really don't understand you.. try adding me to msn or aim we can communicate better that way. or try rephrasing yourself a bit better in your question

thanks for your reply I was in a rush that time.

 

I wanted my script to send 1 email each to the 5 random email id picked from fields in a row.

 

I fixed it myself, just had to create a new variable for email id and call it inside the loop.
