Hi everybody,
I am running a travel community where users want to get informed on
changes inside different groups they have subscribed to.
At the moment I am doing this with a for loop that generates an
individual e-mail sent to them via phpmailer. That works, however the
submit of the content upload form (that triggers the e-mail
notification) now takes several seconds, as more and more users subscribe.
I am thinking about placing the info on the individual e-mail inside a
ascii txt file that will be read by a cron job which will send the
e-mail instead. Something like every 5 minutes reading it line by line
and then after sending it removing the line.
e.g:
for:bla@xxxxxxx; body:individual
for:new@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; body:other email
Does this sound like a plan? Or do you believe that there are better
ways doing it? I could imagine that I would run into problems a few
months from now if for example the cron job will be triggered a second
time, while the first one has not finished.
Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you for any help.
Best regards,
Merlin
