I’m creating email notification system on my site to send email to the users who has subscribed the article for new comments… I would like to know what is the best way to handle with this situation in php. Should I use the mail function just after the database insertion or there is some better ways. Will it slow down the process of adding new comments if there are too many subscribers?
I would create a new database table and add the subscribers that needs notifications to that table. Then run a crontab every 5 minutes that sends the emails to those whose article has been commented. That way you don’t have to send it directly thus clogging the user experience with longer loading times.
