Bulk mailing script in php

Here is an example of a bulk mailing script in PHP using the PHPMailer library:

<?php

require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php';
require 'PHPMailer/SMTP.php';

// Configuration
$mail = new PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer();
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.example.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = '[email protected]';
$mail->Password = 'your_password';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Port = 587;

// Set the sender and recipient information
$mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'Your Name');
$mail->addAddress('[email protected]', 'Recipient Name');

// Set the subject and body of the email
$mail->Subject = 'Bulk Mailing Test';
$mail->Body = 'This is a test email sent using PHPMailer.';

// Load the list of recipients from a CSV file
$recipients = array();
$fp = fopen('recipients.csv', 'r');
while (($row = fgetcsv($fp))!== FALSE) {
    $recipients[] = $row[0];
}
fclose($fp);

// Loop through the list of recipients and send the email
foreach ($recipients as $recipient) {
    $mail->addAddress($recipient);
    $mail->send();
    echo "Email sent to $recipient\n";
}

// Clean up
$mail->clearAddresses();

?>

This script uses the PHPMailer library to send an email to a list of recipients stored in a CSV file named recipients.csv. The script loops through the list of recipients, adds each one to the email's addAddress() method, and sends the email using the send() method.

You'll need to replace the placeholders ([email protected], your_password, smtp.example.com, etc.) with your own email address, password, and SMTP server information.

You can also use other libraries such as SwiftMailer or PHPMailer's built-in SMTP functionality to send bulk emails.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when sending bulk emails:

  1. Make sure to follow anti-spam laws: Check the laws and regulations in your country regarding email marketing and spamming.

  6. Monitor your email list: Regularly monitor your email list for bounced emails and remove them to prevent spamming.
