Automatically check/update database, and send emails...

Post by superdude83 »

hey,
I want to automatically send out renewal emails to customers every 6 months, after their current subscription has expired. I need the system to check that the subscription is up by querying the database, update the database and then send out emails. When i say automatically i mean without any user action. Is there a way to do this?

Or are there any other ideas you have?

Your help and input is very much appreciated.
Thanks

have a look into cron jobs

or have a script that you run yourself periodically =)
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.
