nOW , IM DEAD NEW TO THIS, AND WHAT iVE ALREADY BUILT IS A MAILING LIST SCRIPT IN php that scrolls through an SQL DB and and send individual emails to my bands mailing list.

Have had to do this in bathc sof about 25 becuase of restrictions by my providor, but its a bit of a pain having to sit infront of the browser whiel thsi is done, espeacially as our list grows.

IS this AJAX business the way forward do you think? So i could basically trigger the script from one page...then close the browser whiel the script runs on the server? Or have i gto the wrong end of the stick?

Thansk for your time!

Ajax isn't a language, nor is it a server-side use of technologies. It is Javascript, used in a certain way. For a mailing list, I doubt that Javascript, specifically Ajax, will be useful in any way to your application.

AJAX is the name given to JavaScript interaction with web services.....it could help with some of your functionality but the chances are it won't solve your problem.

Thansk guys....I understand that AJAX isnt a language, it just describes the use of a combination of other langues to create applications.

But, using AJAX technique would you say its possible to do what im looking for?

Would you invisage any particular problems alogn the way if so??
