Server Side Work

[lardy]

I'm working on a site where users can submit reminders that they want to be reminded (for birthdays, appointments, etc.). How can I, with PHP, make the server look hourly through the database to see if anybody needs a reminder sent to them that hour, and if so, the person would be sent an email by the site automatically. How can I make the server do all this without actually opening any page?

It depends on your host, and whether or not they allow you to have CRON jobs. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
