BPDesign Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I just picked up a new freelance project that requires a somewhat unique system. Basically, here is the breakdown: Users sign up for a training service. When they sign up the get an email with a link to their first lesson. Now, there will end up being 50 or so lessons but each new lesson is only made available after a certain stretch of time. So what the client needs is for x amount of days after the user signs up they'll get lesson 2 emailed, then y amount of days after signup they'll get lesson 3 email and so on and so forth. Is this even possible to do something like this using PHP on the server side of the website? If so, is there a specific type of hosting that they need or will any random hosting plan allow this type of thing?
