Max Accepted Bid: Bidding is closed Project Type: Very Small Business Project: under $100 (USD) Bidding Type: Open Auction Categories: PHP Enter chat room for this bid request (0 active users at Sep 1, 2003 9:31:51 AM EDT) Description: I need a php page with two textarea's, one where I can enter the source of an HTML format email, and the other for a plain text version. It should send the appropriate email to each subscriber: I have a database of opt-in subscribers, the relevant fields are as follows: email: email address first_name: first name last_name: last name HTML: 1=HTML format, 0=Plain Text Subscribed: Only send if = 1. There are currently about 8,000 opt-in subscribers, so the main problem I can see is stopping the script from timing out. If it can show some kind of progress report then that would be great. If it is more efficient for the webpage to create text files, and then I telnet in and kick off some process (PERL, PHP, or whatever) then that would be fine if that is the best way to do it. Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working scripts. 2) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased. Platform: Linux Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the buyer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the software buyer and seller agreements.

If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.   Bidding/Comments: All monetary amounts on the site are in United States dollars.

I have excellent expertise with PHP and MySQL both, as well as great experience with form handling and mailing lists. My delivery estimate is one work-day. I am trying to build a reputation here on RAC and I hope I can provide the lowest bid in order to get the job done. Please contact me on MSN or Yahoo Messenger to show you samples of previous work. I'm looking forward to prove to you that I'm a professional. Thank you for your consideration. Lucian Costin           See 6 private reply(ies) to/from sitemakker.
