RE: [PHP] cron or something similar ?
One way would be to choose a web hoster that provides you with cron access.

Run the script manually via the commandline version of PHP or require a password and form submission on a web-based version of the script and run it manually or schedule a program on another server with cron (or pc with scheduling program) to visit the page automatically. wget can be used to do this. Cuz, when i approach a my web host provider, how can i add a cron job to his system? If you have shell access and your user has privileges to add a cron entry then the program crontab can be used. man crontab for more info. If not, your hosting provider will have to do it for you, that is if the provider allows users to run cron jobs. how do other newsletter programs do this even when they are hosted at remote sites? Some people just use mailing list programs like majordomo, mailman, smarlist, etc. and send the newsletter out to the recipients manually... -- Steve Werby President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
