phpQuestioner Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Is it possible to for PHP to be self automated (without page load from client side) to process actions for timed events? Example; like a Calendar with an Event Auto Reminder (to send an email to someone at a specific junction in time; without client side interaction; to reminder person about an event).

phpQuestioner Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 will ajax work for this; I thought AJAX had Client Side initiated with an event from end user. never used cronjob - but I will look into it - thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74833-php-automated-event-reminder-is-it-possible/#findComment-378395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Cronjob is what you want, AJAX will not help as it would require client interaction. If you are on a Win host look into Task Scheduler.
