DarkPrince2005 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I am trying to set up a mailing list by writing the addresses to a txt file. But, i am having trouble thinking of how i could send out the mass newsletter to all of the email addresses in the file. here is the code that i am using to write to the txt file <?php $filename = 'test.txt'; $somecontent = "$_POST[email]\n"; if (is_writable($filename)) { if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) { echo "Cannot open file ($filename)"; exit; } if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) { echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)"; exit; } echo "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)"; fclose($handle); } else { echo "The file $filename is not writable"; } ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/87357-solved-mailing-list/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpctrl Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 it is also forr allot of other pages to write to, it is gonna be constantly writen to and from, meaning that it'll be constantly clear for security reasons You can have a lot of pages, servers or anything write to a MySQL DB, it can all be done remotely. I have kind of a pseudo code here, should work but I donno if it's what you're looking for. Do you have your mail settings set up in php.ini and or do you have an SMTP server running locally? Here's what I've come up with: <?php $file = fopen(file.txt,"r"); $addys=explode("\n" $file); fclose($file); $i = 0; For $i < count($addys) { mail($addys[$i],$subject,$message); $i++; } ?> that would do what you want I think.

slpctrl Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Actually that was stupid, it can be done very simply. I forgot about foreach() >_< <?php $subject = $_POST['subject']; $message = $_POST['message']; $file = fopen(file.txt,"r"); $addys = explode("\n" $file); fclose($file); foreach ($addys as $addy) { mail($addy,$subject,$message); } ?> Set up your mail settings in php.ini and run a SMTP server. Or you could even set it up to use an outside email like gmail, just put the info in php.ini. No need to fuss with that within the PHP.
