Okay, so I don't even have the whole system up and working quite yet
that Dan Brown typed out for me in another e-mail and I have people
wanting new features... They would like to be able to schedule things
to happen every other week, once a month on a certain day, quarterly,
etc. etc... Now I know I need to use a time stamp to create the
current time, and I think I can use mktime() to create a time stamp
for in the future, and add that to the database.
Then to check if it should show up put my sql statement to something
like: "SELECT * FROM tasks where TIMESTAMP = TODAY or TIMESTAMP is
older then today and NOT completed"
What I'm not sure about is the best way to setup the logic for
setting when it is scheduled, such as, if it is supposed to repeat
every month on the same day, would it be best to simply have a check
box for "Reoccur Monthly" and if clicked do use PHP wizardry to
schedule it to do it every month? Or would it be simpler to when it
comes up, reschedule it for the next month? As you can see, I'm still
thinking it through, and wanted to collective knowledge of the group
to weigh in. Code I'll look for later when I decide on a tactic to use.
Thanks for any advice you can give! :)
