123qwertyuiop456 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 [color=red][size=16pt]Hi![/size][/color]User writes a message, than it should be posted to 300-800 e-mails.Firstly I-ve made message.html and mailer.php. User writes message in message.html, then clics submit, and than the script runs:[code]/*mailing... mailing...*/header("Location: .........");[/code]But, unfortunately, in this case user has to wait for long time, before he'll be redirected.How to let user go for another location, leaving the mailing script?

.josh Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 one random solution: when the user clicks submit, put the message and sender and whatever other info in a "queue" in your database and have a seperate script go to your "queue" and grab the info (and delete it after it gets it) every minute or whatever using a cron job, and have that seperate script do the mail sending. then you could redirect the user somewhere else instantly, or whatever. but there's probably a better solution. i've never done mass mailer type scripts, so i don't know all the "tricks" to it.

123qwertyuiop456 Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Great idea, Crayon Violent! The mailing-list and message are constant, so I have to save only "start mailing" flag in DB. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
