Orio Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Yes. PHP can handle databases, and also send emails (using the mail() function). Orio. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/90974-can-php-do-this/#findComment-466244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Check with your webhost to see how many emails you can send within a certain amount of time. So hosts won't let you do more than a few hundred at a time. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/90974-can-php-do-this/#findComment-466246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirkules Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 One quick note, some hosts do not support the mail function -- you might have to authenticate a user before sending emails. It's best to look at your host's documentation to find out the appropriate method for sending outgoing mail.

revraz Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Depends on how much you know. If you can read a DB, populate variables, then sure. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/90974-can-php-do-this/#findComment-466278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
