I have created a mailing list where users can sign-up with their name and email address.

 

I know have a mysql table with columns `name`, `email` and `key` (random string for unsubscription).

 

My question is, whats the best way to send off the emails? I want to send off daily emails which get the content from a dynamic php page.

Each email needs to send a unique key so how do I send individual emails with out looping?

 

I currently us PHPMailer class to send emails via smtp would I be able to use that? Sorry if I sound like a n00b but this is all new to me.

What I meant was not to use the mail() function within a loop i.e

foreach($addresses as $email) {
mail($email, 'subject', 'body', $headers);
}

Quote from php.net

It is worth noting that the mail() function is not suitable for larger volumes of email in a loop. This function opens and closes an SMTP socket for each email, which is not very efficient.

PHPMailer is suitable. Also PEAR Mail http://pear.php.net/package/Mail
