Script times out when sending bulk email

[VinodKApadnis]

hi friends I want to send thousands of mails I use following function to send the mail but it returns following error

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 552 Too many recipients in c:\wamp\www\emailer\emailer.php on line 44

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in c:\wamp\www\emailer\emailer.php on line 45


I use the txt file to import email address.

php code :-

<? ob_start();
 
include("config.php");
 
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
 
$message = $_POST["body1"];
 
$headers = "From: ".$_POST["sender_mail"]."\r\n" .
   "Reply-To: ".$_POST["sender_mail"] . "\r\n" .
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
 
if($readfrom=="database"){
 
    if(!$_GET["end"]){
        $end=0;
    }
 
    $query=mysql_query("SELECT $column from $table LIMIT $end,100 ;");
 
    if(mysql_affected_rows()==0){
        echo "Operation Finished";
        exit();
    }
 
 
    while($data=mysql_fetch_array($query)){
        $email=$data[$column];
        mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);
        //echo $email."<br>";
    }
 
}
 
 
 
elseif($readfrom=="file"){
    $handle = @fopen($filepath, "r");
    if ($handle) {
           while (!feof($handle)) {
                   $email = fgets($handle);
                   mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);
                $email."<br>";
           }
           fclose($handle);
    }
}
 
if($readfrom=="database"){
    $end+=$qty;
    echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"refresh\" 
    CONTENT=\"1;URL=http://$domain/emailer.php?end=$end\">";
}
header("location:sendmail.php");
?>

Heya, Vinod. Welcome (back) to TSDN!

Changed thread title to better describe the problem (did you know that threads whose titles do not follow the Posting Guidelines actually get FEWER responses?).

Please use CODE tags when posting source code:

[CODE=php]

Php mail() funtion is a vary basic way to send web based mails. from your error message itself you can find out the reason for not sending your mails to all your recipients. fsockopen() with RCPT might be able to handle the load,
or else google for "mass email with php" you can find a solution. there are applications to handle this.
