PHP Newsletter Mailer

[DGK101]

Hi There,

I have a website with a mysql backend filled with about 2000 subscribers' details.

What I would like to do is send out a weekly newsletter to all those subscribers by designing an HTML template and then personalizing it(with info like "name" from my Mysql DB) and sending the HTML document out to my subscribers.

How would i go about designing something like this in PHP? Any help or direction to some scripts would be GREATLY appreciated...

Thanks,
D

For the mailing portion I strongly recommend to get the PHPMailer class from sourceforge. It will handle all the MIME encoding etc. for a multipart mail:

http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net

The rest is just easy template handling. Use placeholders and regular expressions to replace them in the text.
