Customization, Integration / Importing / Converting opt-in's to Double Opt-ins

« on: June 01, 2004, 03:48:25 pm »

Hi,

I'm looking for something to help with what I need...  I purchase a lot of opt-in email leads and I want to import them into a temporary table, send them an email asking them to double opt-in to our main/real list.

I envision in would do this (and If I knew PHP I'm sure it would be cake...):  The link in the email would be like a simple remove link, saying click this link to confirm your subscription, when clicked would open a webpage, subscribe them to our main list/send out the welcome message/then forward them to our main web page.

I've worked out a small solution, but it's very slow.  What I've done is on the import process, I changed it to make the imported users "uncomfirmed" and to send out the confirmation email right on import.  Like I said it works, but VERY slow...and sometimes times out with "Page Not Found" errors on big imports.

General Help & How-To / Importing Large Amount of Data

« on: May 13, 2004, 12:11:21 pm »

I'm trying to import a large amount of emails with a large amount of data, the file size is over 8MB, as soon as I pick the filename and hit send, It goes right to:  The page cannot be displayed

Happens immediately, figured it was some kind of php limitation or something, so I upped the settings in php.ini, IE>  upload file size from 2mb to 10mb, memory usage from 8mb to 25mb.

Any other ideas?
