@NogDogMay 31.2011 — #To directly answer your question:
Whether that is actually the best solution for your particular requirement may be a separate question. For instance, it may be better handled in a database query, if the times in question are retrieved there -- perhaps along with a flag field for each record that indicates whether or not the email has been sent yet.
Time Ranges In IF or ELSEIF
Is it possible to specify a PHP program to send an email if an upcoming event lies within a specified range of time (such as 5 days) using an IF or maybe an ELSEIF statement?
If someone could show me how to do something like this I would greatly appreciate it. ?

$now = time();
$start = strtotime('2011/05/30 00:00:00');
$end = strtotime('2011/06/03 23:59:59');
if($now >= $start and $now <= $end) {
// do something
}
