PHP to send scheduled e-mails?

Post by sejf83 »

I want to set up a small app so that users can subscribe to a "Tip of the Day"-type mailing list. Can I use PHP to send automatic, scheduled e-mails? I'm thinking I'd put the tips in an array but I get lost after that. Can anyone give me some general advice on how to do this? TIA.

Often, these sorts of things are done through a tool called cron or crontab. As far as sending emails, we will probably suggest Swift.
