mailing list and timeout

[Sleidia]

Good Morning,

Does anyone know how to avoid timeout
problems with mailing list code?

I've written a loop which reads a mysql table
row by row, and send an e-mail each time an
e-mail addresse is found in a row.
But when thousands of rows are processed with this
loop, there are case when a timeout error occurs.
Also, I've tried to run the script in the background,
but it didn't look like it worked.
Any idea?

Thanks a lot.

hello,

try using set_time_limit(0) in the script.
that will run the script forever.

u can also set a max time limit for a script to run
in your php conf file by setting parameter max_execution_time .

hope that will help u.
