ninedoors Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I have a hockey league and would like to send out an email every week. I would like this to happen at the same time every week (say Sat. night). All the info in the email will be from MySQL database so I won't need to change anything that often. Thanks.

ninedoors Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Sorry, I am out of it tonight. The question is how can I go about this using php, if it is possible at all.

BlueSkyIS Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 assuming you're on Linux, you can use crontab to run a PHP script at a set time each day. google crontab for lots of info.
