PHP Project

Post by adhi91 »

Hi,

I am quite a beginner to PHP. I am currently want to do a project to further my knowledge.
My idea is to create a reminder system.
Something like google calendar which can remind you about your meeting and appointment.
However, i want to make it using a simple interface (user email, time, time zone, what is the reminder).
So, people who visit the site can just type in, and will receive email, one hour, 30 minutes and 10 minutes before the time which the user type in.
I believe PHP have a mail function, but I am still figuring it out.
May I know whether it can be implemented using PHP?

Thanks in advance. :D

You're going to have to go outside php to do the scheduling, you'll need cron or task scheduler or something. PHP doesn't have any ability to schedule jobs on a server by itself.

a bit difficult to do this by PHP. It is easy for C++ conducting this.
