brad_langdon Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi. I have payment "due dates" for my clients hosting in a mysql database. I am wanting to set it up so that when a clients hosting is due in a week / month etc and on the actual day itself an email will be sent to myself and to the client reminding them about payment with the amount etc. Can anyone point me in the best direction for this? Was preferring to build it from scratch but a free program would also do. Thanks everyone who helps Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169682-payment-date-alert/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
p2grace Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Create a quick php script that checks for all payments that are due on that date, and sends them an email. Then create a cron job so the script runs every morning. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169682-payment-date-alert/#findComment-895153 Share on other sites More sharing options...

p2grace Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron If you have a web host provider you should be able to configure the cron job automatically through their interface.
