Timeout and newsletter

OK, you should be able to send up to 100 Emails in only a single call to the Email class. So you should only need to call $this->email->send() 3 times.

You can pass over up to 100 Email addresses in one go, by separating them with a space or a comma:

Code:

$email_addresses = "[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]";
$this->email->to($email_addresses);
$this->email->send();

You can then do this:

Code:

$another_100_email_addresses = getAddresses(2); // This is a fake pager function that doesn't actually exist.
$this->email->to($another_100_email_addresses);
$this->email->send();

Oh, and yes, use BCC if you don't want the recipients to be copied in on everyone else's addresses.
And repeat as necessary. I'd recommend you make a function that grabs 100 Email addresses for you, and concatenates them into a comma separated string.

You may also wish to raise the maximum execution time limit.

Code:

ini_set('max_execution_time', $number_of_seconds);

Hope this helps.
