This script is runs by cron so it is running in the background. How would I do this and is it the best way to do it. I am using swift mailer to send the mail. I think I would use limit 100 in the query but how would I tell it to get the next 100. $today = date("Y-m-d"); # Cache the Contact that will recive campain messages today $query = "SELECT emailmessages. * , contacts.* FROM emailmessages, contacts WHERE emailmessages.contact_id = contacts.id AND emailmessages.nextmessagedate = '$today' AND contacts.emailstatus = 'Active'"; $DB_Contact_Result = mysql_query($query); if (!$DB_Contact_Result) { die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error()); } while ($this_row = mysql_fetch_array ($DB_Contact_Result)){ $CustomerID=$this_row["id"]; //get the message for the contact $query1 = "SELECT * FROM emailcampaign where member_id = '$this_row[members_id]' AND campaign_id = '$this_row[emailcampaign]' AND day = '$this_row[email_number]'"; $DB_Mail_Result = mysql_query($query1); if (!$DB_Mail_Result) { die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error()); } $Mail_row = mysql_fetch_array($DB_Mail_Result); //get member stuff $query2 = "SELECT * FROM member where members_id = '$this_row[members_id]'"; $DB_Member_Result = mysql_query($query2); if (!$DB_Member_Result) { die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error()); } $subject=stripslashes($Mail_row['subject']); $message=stripslashes($Mail_row['textmessage']); $hmessage=stripslashes($Mail_row['htmlmessage']); $swiftPlain = $message; $MailFrom1=$this_row['emailaddress']; $MailFromName1=$this_row['firstname']; $full_name=stripslashes($this_row['firstname']) ."

I have a delivery timestamp column in the table that is initially NULL, and I set it to UTC_TIMESTAMP() for each row as I send the message. My query looks like this then: SELECT * FROM mail_queue WHERE delivery_timestamp IS NULL LIMIT 100. Andrew
Then what do you do to get the next 100 emails without sending the same ones -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
