wampthing Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I am looking for a script that will allow me to send emails to my family to remind them about Birthdays. (If another person forgets my birthday I'll....) (...I digress) Does anyone know of somthing that I can use to do that? I have used happybirthday.com, but Im looking for more flexibility without ads.

borfast Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 (edited) www.birthdayalarm.com EDIT: Ooops... I posted this before reading that you had used happybirthday.com before... Well, I'd say one of these sites is the easiest choice but you can always create a script that is run by a cron job everyday and checks a database to see if there's any birthday entry for the current day. If so, it will send an e-mail to the corresponding person. Or, you can also search hotscripts.com for it, because I'm sure someone already did something like this Edited June 5, 2005 by borfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wampthing Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 Thanks for the link to birthdayalarms. It doesn't appear that they limit the number of reminders you can set. I think I will go with that unless anyone has any other experience with anything else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wampthing Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 So if I did take Raul's Idea and do a cron job, is there any tutorial where I can learn how that works? I am completely lost as to how to do cron jobs. Even a tutorial as to how to back up your site would be helpfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
