Hi All,
Im looking for suggestions on how I might accomplish the following:
I need a way to check to see when the last time a member has updated his/her info for a directory based site.
Basically, if a member signs up and enters their info, then goes out of business 8 months later, and does not "cancel" their free listing, then the listing is obsolete. I need a way to check to see if the member has updated their profile say every 6 months. If not, an email would be sent to the member, if no reply say within 2 weeks, their listing info would be deleted from the database.
This would be to prevent an obsolete entries. Im not quite sure how to automate such a process.
I was thinking that on login I would store the date and then check against that date the next time the member logs in, however, if they dont ever login again then that method would not work.
This is where Im stuck!
I hope that makes sense... any suggestions?
Thanks
Keith

Why do you think that wouldn't work? Just run a cron job every week to look for all records that have 'last login' dates over 6 months old.I was thinking that on login I would store the date and then check against that date the next time the member logs in, however, if they dont ever login again then that method would not work.
