revraz Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Its a program that runs at a specific time that you want it to. See if your webhost supports it. http://www.unixgeeks.org/security/newbie/unix/cron-1.html Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/83872-auto-email-a-database/#findComment-426836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
drranch Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Is your site running on a hosted server? If so you will need to check to see if they have this option for you You would build the MYSQL/PHP scripting and then set up the cron option to run the MYSQL/PHP script. Using the cron option through your provider will let you run the script at a certain time and day.
