newsletter calling back emails from daterbase

hi

i am tring to to a page where the admin can send a email to all of his users.
But first of all i am using tinymce editor (as it is the best one i know of) to design the message so the email has script has to know i am using html and i want to submit the newsletter to a table in my daterbase so i can look at pass newsletters.
i have managed that but i am stuck with how to call all my users email adress back from the daterbase called mywigan and table called user under the coloum called email.
now at the moment i have this


<?php require_once('../../Connections/mywigan.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
{
$theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

switch ($theType) {
case "text":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "long":
case "int":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
break;
case "double":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "date":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "defined":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
break;
}
return $theValue;
}
}

$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
}

if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "form1")) {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO newsletter (`from`, subject, body) VALUES (%s, %s, %s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['from'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['subject'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['body'], "text"));

mysql_select_db($database_mywigan, $mywigan);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $mywigan) or die(mysql_error());

How many users are there?

Most webhosts have a limit on how many emails you can send within a given time.
Example, you may only be able to send 100 emails every hour.

Every host has different rules.
Find out what your host's rules are before you spend too much time on this.

if i do have alot of uses how should i go about make a newsletter

Might help:

// multiple recipients
if (!empty($_POST['subject'])) {
$sQuery = mysql_query('SELECT email FROM mywigan'); // Select "email" column from "mywigan" table
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($sQuery)) {
$to = $row[0]; /*HELP this is where i did to get all the email from the dater base*/
// subject
$subject = $_POST['subject'];

// message
$message = $_POST['body'];

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers

$headers .= 'From: sammottley@foo.com' . "\r\n";


// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
}
else {

echo '';
};
