Auto email without php trigger

Post by wasir »

I am trying to build a system where an email is to be generated automatically when current date = the date in mysql table column. By "automatically" I mean that it won't require any trigger from the user.

Is it possible...?

Yeah, a simple periodic polling of the date in the table. ;)
A crontab script.
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

You could also do it programatically whenever the first page of the day is loaded.
