What are some alternative methods for importing addresses into a PHP script besides using Outlook Express?

If you need to import addresses into a PHP script without using Outlook Express, you can consider using a CSV file or a database. You can create a CSV file with the addresses and then use PHP's built-in functions like fgetcsv() to read the file and import the addresses into your script. Alternatively, you can store the addresses in a database table and then use PHP's database functions like mysqli or PDO to retrieve the addresses.

// Example using CSV file
$csvFile = 'addresses.csv';
$addresses = [];

if (($handle = fopen($csvFile, 'r')) !== false) {
    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ',')) !== false) {
        $addresses[] = $data;
    }
    fclose($handle);
}

// Now $addresses contains the imported addresses from the CSV file
foreach ($addresses as $address) {
    // Process each address as needed
}
