Hi,

Im pretty new to swiftmailer.. i need to send a newsletter daily,weekly and monthly to some subscribers. I developed the content(HTML) , sorted the users and sends mail. using batchSend.Everything works fine, but now my concern is how to schedule this PHP calss to run daily,weekly and monthly. Is there any available php schedulers that execute other PHP scripts in the backend or do i have to follow the normal Scheduler in windows. i found out PHPJob Scheduler but it will run only if there r hits in the site. i cannot guarantee my site gets hit the same day when i want to send newsletter.

Any suggestions ..:)

Thanks

Does this have to be on windows? Linux has cron. Perhaps you can get cron for windows.

There's also phpcron which ~onion2k on this forum has linked to a few times in the past. Otherwise, windows Task scheduler will do the job fine, just set it to run as the system user so that it runs in the background.
