learner_php Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hi, Is it possible to send an auto email to a person as per the target date in a datagrid column of Flash CS4 (AS 3.0)? I was told that PHP will help in this regard. I have the following example file attached herewith. It should check the target date column and if the target date is equal to current date then it should send an auto e-mail to the respective person using the E-Mail ID from the Flash datagrid control. For example (as per attached list): An email to be sent to Mr. Rangarajan on 15-APR-12 with subject "Submission of BCM Procedure draft" using his email id from the "E-Mail" column of the grid i.e. [email protected] Please let me know whether it is possible in PHP? Thanks. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/260549-is-it-possible-to-send-an-automated-emails-to-users-as-per-the-target-dates/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

litebearer Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 IMO would be way easier to store the info in a database, then use cron to send the emails Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/260549-is-it-possible-to-send-an-automated-emails-to-users-as-per-the-target-dates/#findComment-1335351 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro2 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 You have your information in flash. I'm not really sure how you would schedule that to run in order to check if the dates match, but if you can get it to call a php script, there's lots of mailer classes you can use like SwiftMailer or PHPMailer or you can build your own email and send it using the mail function built into PHP.
