Sending mass emails using PHP script, MySQL database - php

Question

I want to send mass emails using PHP mail function. Email addresses are stored in MySQL database. There are nearly 30k email addresses. I am sending one email at a time.
60 emails are sent properly & the next all emails are skipped. I am using godaddy host to send emails. Following is code I am using
<?php
$con1=mysqli_connect("subscibe","subscibe","pw","subscibe");
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$getusers = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM subscibe.emaillist");
$email_from = "email#gmail.com";
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
while($result = mysql_fetch_array($getusers)) {
$emailaddress = $result['Emailaddresses'];
mail($emailaddress,$subject,$message,$headers);
//Add email address to temp table
$sqlq="INSERT INTO subscibe.temp VALUES ('$emailaddress')";
if (!mysqli_query($con1,$sqlq)) {
die('Error: ' . mysqli_error($con1));
}
}
echo "Emails are sent"
?>

Answer 1

you may want to use a foreach loop which would send the email to each record in your DB.
Something like:
$getusers = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM subscibe.emaillist");
foreach ($getusers as $maillist) {
$mail->to($mailist['email_address']);
$mail->send()

Answer 2

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","dbuser","dbpass"); // replace dbuser, dbpass with your db user and password
mysql_select_db("dbname", $con); // replace dbname with your database name
/*
To use this script database table must have three fields named sno, email and sub_status
*/
$query = "select sno, email from dbtable where sub_status = 'SUBSCRIBED'";
$result = mysql_query($query, $con);
$emails = array();
$sno = array();
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$sno[] = $row['sno']; // this will be used to unsubscribe the user
$emails[]=$row['email']; // email id of user
}
/* you can also get email id data from CSV using below code */
//$file = file_get_contents("travel_database.csv");
//$emails = explode(",",$file);
/* count.txt is used to store current email sent number/count */
$count = file_get_contents("count.txt");
for($i=$count;$i<count($emails);$i++)
{
$to = $emails[$i];
// subject
$subject = 'Set Your Title Here';
// message
$message = file_get_contents("sample.html"); // this will get the HTML sample template sample.html
$message .= '<p>Please click here to unsubscribe.</p>
</body>
</html>';
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
//$headers .= "To: $to" . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Name <info#yourdomain.com>' . "\r\n";
//$headers .= 'Cc: sendcc#yourdomain.com' . "\r\n";
//$headers .= 'Bcc: sendbcc#yourdomain.com' . "\r\n";
// Mail it
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
$file = fopen("mailsentlist.txt","a+"); // add email id to mailsentlist.txt to track the email sent
fwrite($file, $to.",\r\n");
fclose($file);
}
else
{
$file = fopen("notmailsentlist.txt","a+"); // add email to notmailsentlist.txt here which have sending email error
fwrite($file, $to.",\r\n");
fclose($file);
}
if(($i-$count)>=200) // this will send 200 mails from database per execution
{
$filec = fopen("count.txt",'w'); // store current count to count.txt
fwrite($filec, $i);
fclose($filec);
break;
}
}//for end
$filec = fopen("count.txt",'w'); // store fine count to count.txt this will be used as a start point of next execution
fwrite($filec, $i);
fclose($filec);
?>
