I was trying to find an easier way to send e-mails to all my clients using our database (MySQL). I wanted to see if there is a way that it can select all the e-mails of my clients and I can add message, Subject and send it to all of my clients from my website rather than copying each of the mail.
Is there a way to integrate SMTP to do this? either using PHP or javascript.
Thanks.

Yes, there are about 5,247 ways. See these:
Those are all good (and not the only ones). It is up to you to pick the one that best suits your purpose, there is no "single best" library.

I use SwiftMailer .. it works wonders for me.
* Send emails using SMTP, sendmail, postfix or a custom Transport implementation of your own
* Support servers that require username & password and/or encryption
* Protect from header injection attacks without stripping request data content
* Send MIME compliant HTML/multipart emails
* Use event-driven plugins to customize the library
* Handle large attachments and inline/embedded images with low memory use
require_once 'lib/swift_required.php';
//Create the Transport
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('localhost', 25);
//Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
//Create a message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Wonderful Subject')
->setFrom(array('[email protected]' => 'John Doe'))
->setTo(array('[email protected]', '[email protected]' => 'A name'))
->setBody('Here is the message itself')
;
//Send the message
$numSent = $mailer->batchSend($message);
printf("Sent %d messages\n", $numSent);
/* Note that often that only the boolean equivalent of the
return value is of concern (zero indicates FALSE)
if ($mailer->batchSend($message))
{
echo "Sent\n";
}
else
{
echo "Failed\n";
}
