Auto emailing?

Hi!

Does anyone know of a script that could automatically send out an email to a list of people everytime I upload something (anything) via FTP to my site.

I.e., when I upload an html or php file it would send something out saying "blah.com has been updated"

thanks for any help

Ross

i got one. it only does it whenever you tell it to, and it sends out e-mails to your members when they specify that they want to receive e-mails

check out http://members.powerpigradio.com/ to see what i mean

When you say

Quote:

do you mean that somewhere on your site (or somehow) you select something that starts off the emailing process (wow...that was poorly worded, but you know what I mean)?

I have made a REALLY basic site for a friend who can just about manage to ftp .hmtl files to his space on my domain, and I was sort of looking for something that would mean he didn't have to click, or do, anything else - the email is sent automatically

ftp upload of a .html file -> email goes

is this anything like what you've got going?
cheers

kinda-sorta. The problem with automatic e-mailing is controlling how much it hogs resources... i.e. how many e-mails to send out at once, etc. This one I have, you create a message, and it sends it to certain members who have registered as members of your website.

ok, so a "mailing list" type thing?

What I was planning, though, would just be one email a week to 30-odd receipients (that spelt right... ), as only one file would be uploaded each week.

hmmmmm......

it's driving me beserk. This and that other "PHP query" for the same site. The site itself is v.basic! Yet these two things....


thanks for the help!
