robert_gsfame Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I can't put the subject as i don't know exactly how to call this.. Assume that i have created my own career site, then user (job seeker) named "JAMES" should check at least one type of career that they wish to get in the future... and let say several companies have posted their vacancies related to what JAMES has chosen before..how does the newsletter regarding those vacancies automatically sent to JAMES?? Is it manually sent by the owner of the site or automatically sent?? If it's automatically sent, then how they do it?? please explain it to me Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 They are automatically sent. For instance, once a week (via a cron job) execute query that matches all users interests against existing job types. When matches are found, send an email.

trq Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Your probably going to have a hard time finding something so specific. I'm not sure what part you don't understand though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_gsfame Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Actually i have my site and i wish to inform all members about new products offered automatically so that i don't need to put more efforts in sending manually this newsletter or using bulk mailer which is usually known as SPAM..(i have a thousand members and this must be hard to do this manually and also wasting my time) Please help me about this...where can i learn those things....?

trq Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Can you write the query to pull the related email addresses / products? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_gsfame Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 i dont know how to do it...Can you explain it to me.. and i actually don't really get what you mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Sorry man but it seriously sounds like you haven't a clue. Maybe you would be better of hiring someone who does? This board is for help with problematic code, not really the place to ask people to program entire solutions for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_gsfame Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 okay..thanks for your info..i think i have to find several tutorials and learn.. ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_gsfame Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 one more thing Thorpa....i have read some articles and it sounds simple....what i need is to create a php page and schedule it using cron tab to generate that php script that i have created inside my php page.... Is that correct Thorpa??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 You need to write a script that executes a query, emailing the results to the related users. You then schedule this script to be executed at specific intervals via cron. The whole thing can likely be done without php at all but I won't get into that.
