i dont think he is stuck on sending the mail, well maybe he is, but i think he is stuck on how to do it weekly....
If on Linkux you can use cron jobs.
If on Windows you can use the task scheduler to run your page every once every week.

i agree to illusionist,
use cron jobs on linux or task scheduling on windows, just write the mail command in any file and store the following location on to that task into cron or in task scheduler and the script will run at those times.
hope this explaing u better
cron jobs
