i want to make a "reminder" application which sends emails at certain hour in php. is this posibile ? if not, what else can I use ?


I've done it using pure PHP for a calendar script.

What I did was write a PHP script with a loop that checks every second whether or not something should be done. For example:


<?php
$t = true;
while ($t) {
  if (time() == $myTimeStamp) {
    mail(args);
  }
}
?>

at the top of the script I have a line like this:
#!/usr/bin/env php
for *nixs' and I wrote a little batch file for Windows systems.
At least it works.
