How would you go about creating events that happen outside the page
loading and processing...mainly I use SQL 2000 for my db, so it could be
something set up inside the db, I guess
Here are a few examples of what I'm wanting to do
Let's say a user wants to create an event and have it show up on a
certain date. To control visibility, I could use a bit characters, 1 for
on, 0 for off. I want the visibility bit to be set from 0 to 1 on the
date that the user entered. I could put something in my page code that
says like if datefield = now() set visibility from 0 to 1, but for that
to happen, someone would have to view the page on that day.
Also, lets say I have a time based database field, where I want to
increment this field based on a certain number of minutes/hours...for
example every 5 minutes the field would be incremented by one, until a
certain number is reached, then it stops. This would be real time based
and not have anything to do with the code on the page, so I can't think
of how to do it.
