Email Reminder System

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 09.2010

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any email reminder systems out there which i can add to my site??

I have found one (link below), which in theory does what i want. But it was posted back in 2003 so im pretty sure there will be something more recent done by someone else.

[url]http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/MySQL/Setup-Your-Personal-Reminder-System-Using-PHP/[/url]

Im not asking anybody to write my code for me, i have googled a little but im not coming up with much.

So thats why i thought i’d check with you wonderful people on here.

It’s a feature, to be added into a user’s control panel so they can add friends/familys birthdays and have a email reminder the day before or whenever they choose.

If there is a service or code out there which is ideal, for which somebody knows of and it costs. That is also not a problem.

Thanks

@HHCOwnerJul 09.2010 — You can use something similar to the following code with a cron job to run every day at whatever time you'd like and it'll send an email to each person who has someones birthday set for a reminder in your MySQL database.

[code=php]
<?

include "connect.php";

$today = date('YFd');
$date = $today + 1;

$sql1 = "SELECT * FROM bdays WHERE date='$date'";
$result1 = mysql_query($sql1);

while ($data1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1)) {
$username = "{$data1['username']}";

$sql2 = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='$username'";
$result2 = mysql_query($sql2);
$data2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result2);
$email = "{$data2['email']}";

while ($data3 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1)) {
$name = "{$data3['name']}";
$to = $email;
$subject = "Birthday Reminder";
$message = "Tomorrow is ".$name."'s birthday!";
mail($to, $subject, $message);
}
}

?>
[/code]

Hope this helps. ?
