Is this sci-fi?

Post by Perfidus »

I know I can send e-mails from php to an user or a list of users, but, is it possible to make the server send those e-mails in a given time and date?
Is it possible, simply stupid or science fiction?

If your sever suports it, you can use cron to execute a php script at a certin day/time. So you can just make a script to email everyone, and set it to be run at when you want it to. I've never done it myself though.
