[PHP] Dated/Timed actions

2001-10-02 Thread Stephane Besnard

Hi,

Does anybody know how to generate 'dated/timed actions' with PHP?

By this I mean, for instance, automatically sending an email to a group of 
people when a specific date and time is reached: sending a happy birthday 
message to a users.

Thanks,
Stephane.

cron job.

Probably something along the lines of small php code interfacing with a db
with dates etc in, and another php script which checks the dates and emails
details on that day.

A Cron job which runs the script daily would probably do the job.

do a search in google for cron job
