Allrighty, it's the first time I ask a question here. My problem is as awkward as it is difficult to get to the bottom of. Story goes like this: I have this little system, which sends alot of e-mail invitations(not spam). So, being sensible, I don't use the PHP function mail(), I use PEAR classes like Mail, Mail_Queue, Net_SMTP, etc. Only problem is, my error logs fill up with tons of errors like this:
PHP Notice: Error in sending mail:
Mail Queue Error: Cannot initialize container in /usr/lib/php/PEAR.php on line 873
And then, of course:
[18-Feb-2011 17:38:44] PHP Fatal error:
Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted
(tried to allocate 3 bytes) in /usr/lib/php/PEAR.php on line 844
Here's the code which inits the mail queue(inside a class called Newsletter)
//I know passing the DSN as the string is kind of deprecated,
//but it;'s the only way it works on my system
$dsn ="mysql://$db_user:$db_pass@$db_host/$db_name";
$db_options = array();
$db_options['type'] = 'db';
$db_options['dsn'] = $dsn;
$db_options['mail_table'] = TABLE_QUEUE;
$this->host = '-- valid host here --';//data in these strings has been obscured
$this->username = '-- valid username here --';
$this->password = '-- valid password here --';
//optionally, a 'dns' string can be provided instead of db parameters.
//look at DB::connect() method or at DB or MDB docs for details.
//you could also use mdb container instead db
//$server = isset($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'])?$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']:'localhost';
$mail_options = array(
'driver' => 'smtp',
'host' => $this->host,
'port' => 25,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $this->username,
'password' => $this->password,
);
$this->mail_queue = new Mail_Queue($db_options, $mail_options);
Some more code down the line,
public function sendChunk($start, $count)
{
global $db;
$ids = $db->get_results("SELECT DISTINCT id_user as id FROM ".TABLE_QUEUE);
$ret = array();
foreach ($ids as $id)
$ret[] = $id->id;
unset($ids);
$this->mail_queue->sendMailsInQueue($count, $start, 1);
return true;
}
Problem is, I double checked every line of code I wrote, and it's doing it's job. Only problem is that sometimes it refuses to send any mails. Thanks in advance for replies.
