[RESOLVED] Mail() function, taking time to load a page.

[veena das]

Hi All,

I'm working on a project, where I need to send mail to a customer, if
1)customer registser to the site.
2)customer places an order.

I have used Mail() function. but it's taking too much time to load a page..
if I comment Mail(). page is getting executed fast.

Is there any solution, so dat using Mail() page load time can b reduced..

below is the code for registration

//

<? $sndUrl = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/main/redirect.php?r=reg&u=$usrEmail";
$emlMesg="
<font style='font-size:11px;font-family:georgia'>

$ccto = "[email protected]";

$subject = "Your Registration at abc.com";
mail($sendto, $subject, $emlMesg, $headers);
?>

Are you running this script on windows or linux? It's worth remembering that if you have configured PHP to use an SMTP server, a hanging connection will cause the script to hang indefinitely.

The only way around this is not to use the mail function. Instead store all the emails you with to send in a temporary directory and have script run as a cron job at regular intervals to send the email.
