Sending the e-mail is pretty straightforward.  You can start with the
mail() function built in to PHP: 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

That page has several good examples.

If you want just a daily digest, you will need to do one of two things....
1) set up a 'cron job' that will run once a day, gather that day's
updates, and e-mail them.

or, probably easier....

2) Put everyone who is supposed to receive the e-mail on some type of
e-mail list group and have PHP send this report e-mail to the list group
address.  Then people can receive either the individual e-mails or the
digests (if the list is set up to allow it).
