Re: Notification emails - how to send them automatically?

A cronjob would be your simplest approach as it already handles the re-occurring scheduling for you. No point reinventing the wheel!

Hey,

I was wondering if there's any possibility to send notification-emails
automatically? I do NOT mean emails which are send when a post gets a
comment or sth like that, I mean when you for example have an
appointment on Aug. 27th which is stored in the database, I want the
SYSTEM to send a notification email maybe one week before that day.

I could write a check routine when the user loggs into the system
which sends all relevant emails, but this would mean the user has to
login and sometimes a user won't use the system for maybe 2 or 3
weeks.

What do I do if I want to call a function EVERY DAY at the SAME time?
Do I really have to write a cronjob for this purpose?
