ramiwahdan Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hi, In my attendance system i want to add email alert using php. I want the system to check the records in my db and send email to everyone that forgot to clock-in after 7:30AM from Sunday to Thursday. What i need to use for this, ideas?

requinix Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 cron to run your script at the designated times, mail() or some emailing library to send the emails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginerjm Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I am not educated in this knowledge, but if Xampp is running on Windows, Google say that you can setup a BAT job and schedule it. Do a google search for 'cron on xampp'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unless you're a high-traffic site. You can't run PHP code unless something triggers it, and relying on people hitting your website isn't safe. If you need to run some code at a particular time then cron, or scheduled tasks on Windows, are the correct answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
