E-Mailing System

[Lamez]

I am not sure on how to go about this, but I want to make a e-mailing system that will e-mail everyone in my database.

 

How would I do this?

 

-Thanks Guys!

you could select * and loop over the users and send an email out for each one.

 

ref: http://us2.php.net/mail

 

or go with a dedicated solution ( we've just jumped ship from to there ourselves )

 

good luck

lol I have over 150+ users, I am not going to e-mail them one at a time 

 

-Thanks Though

 

Oh I found this script

$query = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM users");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
$to      = $row['email'];
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: Lamez' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

 

It does not seem to work, what am I doing wrong?

That IS emailing them one at a time.

Why don't you look into an existing mass email script
