[PHP-WIN] Timed mailing: is it possible?

[Paolo Bonavoglia]

I have PhP 4.23 installed as a SAPI extension of Apache 1.3.24 on the Windows 2000 server of our school; everything works very well, but there is a problem I wasn't able to solve:

I have realized a Calendar system with a Paradox 9 data-base and a few php web pages to access the calendar, add and modify events etc.etc. (use ODBC)
Now I would like to have the system mail reminder e-mail or notify new documents to a mailing-list at specified time (e.g. every day at 19:00, every other day, every week ... two days before the event ...); I searched the PhP manual on-line, but I didn't find anything good; maybe the new MCAL functions group, but I have the calendar already working and wouldn't like to make it all over again. What I need is just a "timer" function able to mail a message (or do any other specified action) at a specified time.

Is that possible with PhP? Has someone tried something of the like? Any ideas?

Thanks to whoever can help me.
