Since PHP is a languaged that work with user-activation, it would only be possible with an infinitive loop, and a constant time check. PHP needs some user interaction before it can start processing. That's the entire basis. As such, it IS techinally possible to do what you said, but is also something that is really NOT recommended to do with php. The other possiblity is to set a cron job to fire up a script which will send the email. - Tularis Randy Johnson wrote:
