...and then Dan Tappin said... % % Does any one have a suggestion on running a daily / weekly e-mail % notification based on results from a MySQL query? ... % % I have a feeling that I will get a few 'buy a PERL book' suggestions % which is fine but I am wondering if there is another method. The same % server is running Apache and PHP. Could I run this from the command % line using PHP? Sure, if you have the php CLI binary built. If which php tells you something like /usr/bin/php then you're in. Any script you write that would work from a web page would work from the command line. In either cae, all you need to write is a script that connects to the DB server and does a SELECT against your parameters and then generates the list for which you must get email addresses to send messages, and then shoot off some email. Shouldn't be too tough. % % In the end I would just like a simple CRON script that runs each day to % send the notifications. Yep. Sounds good. % % Any first thoughts? Buy a perl book ;-) It would be well worth it anyway. % % Thanks, % % Dan HTH & HAND mysql query, :-D - -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * society and not sufficient moral courage.
