i want to make a "reminder" application which sends emails at certain hour in php. is this posibile ? if not, what else can I use ?
I've done it using pure PHP for a calendar script. What I did was write a PHP script with a loop that checks every second whether or not something should be done. For example: <?php $t = true; while ($t) { if (time() == $myTimeStamp) {
    mail(args);
} } ?> at the top of the script I have a line like this: #!/usr/bin/env php for *nixs' and I wrote a little batch file for Windows systems. At least it works.
