Hi all I am stuck:
The case study is as follows :
I just wanted to create a auto generated mail messages or pop up on the specified dates that can be scheduled daily or weekly or monthly.
The thing is that I have to give a interface to the user to schedule thier tasks i.e entering their tasks or scheduling their tasks, and when that date approaches they may recieve an email stating what they have scheduled.
one solution which came across my mind is that lets embbed a code in index page which checks schedule tasks(which i take as a input from user say weekly from the interface) the tasks for the specific member and then shoots a mail if the server date and the date matching the scheduled date matches. but what to do if the situation become complex lets say every 3 hours every minute etc.
Then it will become complex.
So what came across my mind that somehow make a entry in cron through some php script i.e schedule something it will be invoking some php page which shoots message on the desired day or weekly or every minute or so..
So what is desired is make a cron entry through some php script the entry is invoking some script that will do the desired job like can send mail on that schedule time reminding about the task which was scheduled (Just like some holiday reminder or birthday reminder that can be done but invoking some tasks that is random is becoming difficult fo me.
Or is there any other way suggested.
Thanx,
