Is it possible to send an automated emails to users as per the target dates?

[learner_php]

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.

IMO would be way easier to store the info in a database, then use cron to send the emails

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.

Thanks for the reply. I may need to insatall MySQL to store the information and populate it on php to work with.

 

Please let me know whtere the html files cannot used for such tasks?

 

Thanks.
