Sending bulk emails using PHP script, MySQL database

I want to send bulk emails using PHP mail function. Email addresses are stored in a MySQL database. There are about 30 thousand email addresses. I am sending one email at a time.

60 emails are sent properly and the following emails are missed. I am using hostaddy host to send emails. Below is the code I am using

<?php 

$con1=mysqli_connect("subscibe","subscibe","pw","subscibe");

$subject = $_POST['subject'];        
$message = $_POST['message'];

$getusers = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM subscibe.emaillist");
$email_from = "email@gmail.com";
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

while($result = mysql_fetch_array($getusers)) {

$emailaddress = $result['Emailaddresses'];

mail($emailaddress,$subject,$message,$headers);

//Add email address to temp table
$sqlq="INSERT INTO subscibe.temp VALUES ('$emailaddress')";

if (!mysqli_query($con1,$sqlq)) {
die('Error: ' . mysqli_error($con1));
}
}

echo "Emails are sent"

?>

you can use a foreach loop that sends an email to every record in your DB. Something like:



$getusers = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM subscibe.emaillist");
foreach ($getusers as $maillist) {
$mail->to($mailist['email_address']);
$mail->send()
