That may not be the best thing to do. For example, if the definitive
source of the data is somewhere else and it's been exported to you to
do this task, putting it into a DB just complicates the process and adds
another point of failure. It does not make the task any easier.

(Of course, there are lots of cases when it *is* the right thing to do --
it's impossible to say from what you've said.)

There are two parts to this: constructing the emails and sending them.
You probably want something like the PEAR package Mail_Mime[1] for the
first part. What the best way is to send the emails depends on many
factors. The PEAR package Mail[2] is more flexible than PHP's built-in
mail function. You might need it if, for example, you need to send the
mails using a specific mail system.
