mail sending within a while failed

[-Nacho-]

Hi all

I have a table with some email addresses of a mailing list subscribers.
I'm triying to send a mail to them by querying the table and sending
the mail from a 'while' loop, but I only get sent the mail to the first
address, and no more, and the 'while' is correct and I can see the
debug traces from within for each address.
I don't know if there is any reason for this, if the smtp server is
busy sending the first mail when receiving the second and next...

Anyone could help me, please?

Thanks in advance and kind regards.

Try slowing it down. If the load on a server gets too high, then the mail
server is designed to shut down.

How can I slow it down to test it? I'm relatively new to php... :-S


Thanks, Steve.

Re: mail sending within a while failed

Try experimenting with:

sleep()

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sleep.php

usleep()

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.usleep.php

or

time_nanosleep( )

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.time-nanosleep.php

Re: mail sending within a while failed

Thanks, Noodle, but I've just tried out the solution with a sleep of 5
minutes and the problem persists. Only the first mail of the list is
sent. :(

5 minutes is way too long. Most servers are set up to time out scripts
at 30 seconds or so.

Try 2-3 seconds and see if more go out. Or, if you have a lot, try one
of the mailing list programs freely available.

Re: mail sending within a while failed

I've been able to see that the problem is not due to time, but to the
object mail I use.

I use an object "mail" and I don't know how to kill it or to
deinstantiate it after the first mail sending, to be able to
instantiate it again for the next mails. This was hidden by the
requires so it was not returning any error msg, but I've created a
whole code embedding the code of the required files and now I get:

Cannot redeclare class mime_mail in
/home/transper/public_html/msend.php on line 52



Thanks

(Top posting fixed)

Not being familiar with mime_mail (or even which version of mime_mail -
a quick Google search shows several of them) I can't help you. But
embedding files the second time is never the answer.

Where did you get the files? Do they have a support forum?

If not, you could try posting your failing code (not the redeclaration
error - the first error). It's impossible to tell what your problem is
without it.

P.S. Please don't top post. This group uses bottom posting as a standard.

This:

Class mime_mail { blah blah }

needs to be before your while loop.

Also make sure you are not include()ing the file containing this:

Class mime_mail { blah blah }

within your while loop.

Thanks, Miguel.
The problem was just there. I was invoking the class constructor within
the loop. I got the include() out of the loop and now everything is
working fine.

Thanks a lot!
