This may be done basically by index.php, by running a script in the background that selects members whose levy is becoming due and have not already been notified , sends a standard email to the member's email address and updates a `notification_sent` field with, say, a timestamp value.

A number of other selection conditions will be needed, obviously.

Hi Aaron, I'm not sure if what you want can be done with MySQL, but what you can do is a little script in python, php, etc, that query your database for the members that expire at a given date, and then email them. Then you tell cron o similar to execute your script as often as you require. Hope it helps

Hello all,

I have no experience with MySQL, but am reading through the available
texts. However, I feel what I need to do is probably way into these, so
perhaps someone could give me a hand.

I have taken over administering a website with a user database made with
MySQL. It keeps track of members of our owner's association. I would like to set up a script that will automatically email member's when their membership
expiration is nearing.

Will someone please explain how this can be be accomplished, or point me
 in a direction to find out?

I'm not sure if it helps, but we 'manage' the database through phpMyadmin.

Thank you for your help!

Aaron N.
