email script

lanbo · Feb 4, 2011

hi, does anyone know how to make a loop script to send emails to an email list in a separate file?

for example, one file could have
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

and the script would loop and send the same email to each one.

thanks!

Code:

<?php

$email_file = "/path/to/emails.txt"

$subject    = "subject";
$message    = "message body";
$headers    = "From: [email protected]";

$emails = explode("\n", file_get_contents($email_file));

foreach($emails as $to) {
  echo "Emailing $to ... ";
  mail(trim($to), $subject, $message, $headers);
  echo "done\n";
}

?>

Not tested, but it should work fine. See http://php.net/mail for extra options for mail(). $to is trim()ed because Windows is gay and uses \r\n for newlines. You could also preg_split("/\r?\n/", file_get_contents($email_file)) and you wouldn't have to trim() $to.

Code:

<?php
$h = fopen("mails.txt", "r");
if($h)
{
 while(($mail = fgets($handle)) !== false)
 {
  $mail = trim($mail);
  print mail($mail, 'Message subject', 'Message body') ? "$mail - ok<br />" : "$mail - err<br />";
  ob_flush();
  flush();
 }
 fclose($h);
}
?>

thanks a lot!

PHP:

$email_file = "/path/to/emails.txt";

I think fopen("mails.txt", "r"); is not the right way to get mail text, you can use classes for it or you can include file to get mail text.

Research Pear PHP mailing class, thats more advanced and you can use SMTP.

Try phpmailer with smtp auth
For opening large e-mail lists use:

Code:

$file_handle = fopen("mailfile", "r");
while (!feof($file_handle)) {
   $mail = fgets($file_handle);
echo $mail;
}

my 1st post btw
