Chris,
He's my take on your problem, I have used a few different functions
but followed the same pattern as your original script. Check out
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ to get the details on the ones you don't
understand. I have not included error checking. This example works
successfully on my system.

<?php
$recp_list = file("mail_group_list.txt");
$group_list = file("file_group_list.txt");
$cnt = 0;
foreach($recp_list as $line) {
$split = explode(',', $line);
$id = trim($split[0]);
$email = trim($split[1]);
if($email != '') {
foreach($group_list as $groupline) {
$groupsplit = explode(",", $groupline);
$groupid = trim($groupsplit[0]);
$groupFileName = trim($groupsplit[1]);
if($id == $groupid) {
$cnt++;
// start mailing
$fromname = "Test Mailer";
$fromaddress = "email@xxxxxxxxx";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Test message $groupFileName";
$headers = "From: $fromname <$fromaddress>\n";
// Notify the user on screen if the send was succesfull
if(mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
print "Mail sent successfully to $email";
} else {
print "Mail not sent to $email";
}
}
}
}
}
if(!$cnt) {
print 'No matches in files.';
}

Hey all,
I am having a bash at working with flat files.
What I am trying to achieve is the following
There are 2 files with info in them,
file1 has
id,email
and file2 has
id,filename
what I am trying to achieve is open up file1 get the id and email then
open file2 and match the id of file1 to id of file2, then if succesful
send a mail with the filename in file2.
Maybe have a look at the code...
$recp_list = fopen("mail_group_list.txt", "r");
while(!feof($recp_list))
{
$line = fgets($recp_list, 255);
$line = chop($line);
$split = explode(",", $line);
$id = $split[0];
$email = $split[1];
// time to mail.
if ($email != "") {
$group_list = fopen("file_group_list.txt", "r");
while(!feof($group_list))
{
$groupline = fgets($group_list, 255);
$groupline = chop($groupline);
$groupsplit = explode(",", $groupline);
$groupid = $groupsplit[0];
$groupFileName = $groupsplit[1];
if($groupid = $id)
{
// start mailing
$fromname = "Test Mailer";
$fromaddress = "email@xxxxxxxxx";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Test message $groupFileName";
$headers = "From: \"".$fromname."\" <".$fromaddress.">\n";
// Notify the user on screen if the send was succesfull
if(mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
print "Mail sent successfully to $email";
}
else
{
print "Mail not sent to $email";
}
}#end if groupid = id
}#end while group list
}#end if email
}#end while email !=""
?>
So thats the mail.php
mail_list_group.txt looks like this
1,test@xxxxxxxx
5,test1@xxxxxxxx
7,test@xxxxxxxx
file_group_list.txt looks like this
2,filename1.doc
3,filename2.doc
4,filename3.doc
Any help on this would be great !
Cheers
Chris
PS the formatting might come out all wrong as its mailed from a web account.
