how to import more than 10 000 emails in one go

[moinhaidar]

its seems we can get into that...
having previous changes intact I tweaked admin/import1.php

Code: Select all

line 45 : if (filesize($_FILES["import_file"]['tmp_name']) > 3000000)

increased filesize to 3000000 from 1000000 and RAM from 256MB to 1GB
tested 120000 emails in one go. its doing good. still need to retweak the changes for any redundancy.

Hello All,

[BrianFFM]

ohh, I try again on my webserver. but the site is emty .. only

phplist - import emails
good afternoon admin
logout

Here you can add multiple emails to your lists. Attributes need to be identified on the first line in the file. They will be created as textline attributes if they don't exist.

Hey! I also changed my file admin/import1.php from 1MB to 5MB and that did the trick for me. I had absolutelly no problems what so ever. if you don't do that you'll crash.

Hey, nigelduck
you're my new hero. that code worked like a charm!!!!!!
if (filesize($_FILES["import_file"]['tmp_name']) > 1000000) { /* Change 1000000 */

i put this: if (filesize($_FILES["import_file"]['tmp_name']) > 50000000)

you saved me about a week's work with this!!!!
i'm ulpoading about 50.000 each time... jesus.... amazing!

Changing those values worked for me. Note: If you change them and then you go to manage users>import users>import uses with diff. values it still says Filesize limit is 1MB but you can actually import bigger files. Just the warning stays "phplist will not process files larger than 1Mb" this is what confused me. When I tried a 2MB file it worked.

Pro tip - Updating this line in import1.php:

Code: Select all

      if ($done % 50 ==0) {

To something more like:

Code: Select all

      if ($done % 5000 ==0) {

Will make importing much less annoying.

I need to build a "List" and don't know how. I have the e-mails in Word format line by line. How can I import or Copy & Paste?
Thanks,

Hi there,

I tried the diferent solutions but didn´t work. Could it be the version of PHP List? Any other solution?

hi,
are you sick of uploading your csv one by one?
i was
so here's how you can import your lists from a directory on your server: ...

Thank you very much Pro2sell!

with your changes I am finally able to import my 100000+ emails in one import.

BTW: they hang once, because I had special characters in the email-field. And as I did not suspect them being there (as such is invalid), I did not export them in UTF-8 format but did not care about the window-proprietary-format of excel or ms-access. I worked hard for a day to find the fault.

Now I use this function in MS-access to filter out the invalid emails to avoid these hanging of phplist:

It seems that phplist does not catch such faults.
all the best!

I know that this is an old thread, but here I am anyway

Modding this code will work, but this setting is set in /admin/init.php. Just change the import size setting and you're good. It defaults to 5. I upped mine to 50 so I can get a large list imported at once.

How do we increase the max file import size in version 3.0.12? Has anyone done this?

[folst02]

I created a .htaccess file in my webroot directory, "public_html" and placed the following

php_value post_max_size 10M
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

I was able to import 100,000 emails in a 4 mb file with no issues and no other changes.


phplist, version 3.0.12
PHP Version 5.3.29

Most servers do not allow php_flag values in the .htaccess files, if you need to use these values, place then inside a php.ini file instead.

The format for a php.ini file can be found here at php.net
