每n天发送一次邮件

Question

I have a php script that i use to send mail to customers. How can i execute this script every 5 days for example? Can anyone give me an idea or some links? Thanks

Answer 1

If you have a database underneath, you could store the date of the last mail in the database. The script then checks, what the last date in your database is. If this is more than n days in the past it sends a new mail and overwrites the date in the database with the current date.

Alternatively you could simply use Cron-jobs.
