Automatic Mail Sending on specific Dates in PHP

Question

Answer 1

You need to write cron jobs for sending the automatic emails on a particular date. Without this it is not possible.

Syntax Here is a simple cron job:

10 * * * * /usr/bin/php /www/virtual/username/cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

There are two main parts:

The first part is "10 * * * *". This is where we schedule the timer.
The rest of the line is the command as it would run from the command line.
The command itself in this example has three parts:

"/usr/bin/php". PHP scripts usually are not executable by themselves. Therefore we need to run it through the PHP parser.
"/www/virtual/username/cron.php". This is just the path to the script.
"> /dev/null 2>&1". This part is handling the output of the script.

Timing Syntax

This is the first part of the cron job string, as mentioned above. It determines how often and when the cron job is going to run.

It consists of five parts:

minute
hour
day of month
month
day of week

Or

You can set the cron in you cpanel.
