swatisonee Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hi, I have a table whose entire data i need to email on the first day of the month to a predefined email address. Is it possible to do this in php ? I have read some articles that say this is a cron job but I dont know how that works and i would rather it got done thru php. Any pointers please ? Thanks.

AndyB Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 It's all doable with php. The Cron job is what causes the script to execute on the schedule you choose for it. Check any cron tutorial .. unless you have a Winddoze server in which case use the Windows scheduler.

Barand Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 There's "wincron" utility which is easier to use than windows scheduler. It just sits in the system tray - click to edit scheduled events, add new etc. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/40973-is-it-possible-to-trigger-data-export/#findComment-198487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
