Hi,

I coded a bulk emailer for our newsletter that worked fine for the last few 
years resulting in many requests for forgotten passwords and renewed site 
activity. 

Last year, we sent it again, after a few minor code changes, and had no 
response whatsoever. Unfortunately, I no longer have the backup copy of the 
original code. So, I assume that the code has an error that I can't see.

Perhaps someone might see an obvious error in the code (I'm just too close to 
it to see it objectively. The code page loads from a secured authorized 
connection, and iterates through a postgresql db table for names and email 
addresses. I've broken the email packets to 50, and verify that each has been 
sent. Any help greatly appreciated -- I'm afraid to check it live with actual 
names/email addresses, though it works fine for a few duds that I have salted 
in the sponsor table.


Code snippet:

        $run = $_SESSION['run'];

        /* DEBUG PRINT STATEMENTS */
                
                print "<h4>POST submit value is {$_POST['submit']}</h4><br<br>";
                print "<h4>RUN value is $run</h4><br<br>";
                print "<h4>RUN SESSION value is 
{$_SESSION['run']}</h4><br><br>";
        
        include("dbc.php");
