1internet Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I want to send an email every 7 days. Essentially a row is picked out at random from a database, and their email address is taken and they are emailed. Every 7 days another one at random is chosen, and again they are emailed. So I am guessing it would have something to do with the current date, and then worked out somehow if it is a multiple of 7 and if so email them that day? I am not entirely sure, and really cant get my head around this one. How is this done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 You simply need create a script to perform the process as you described. Then create a scheduled task to run every seven days to execute that task. On a Linux server this is typically handled through a CRON job. Your host should have a way of scheduling these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
