Re[2]: [kDev] PHP gurus: quick fix coding question...

Hello,

Sorry, thought you wanted to run a batch script not email everyone
from a cybercafe on the spot. Yes, Scott's solution is better than
mine then in the short term. Later on you can write your letter, click
to enter it into a database, and let a batch script run on it to send
it out (then you can put lots of error logging, run it at off-peak
times should the server be loaded, etc).

Phillip.
