send an e-mail at a certain time

[Anon]

i want to use the php to send out an e-mail at a certain time.

right now, i am using the database to hold the e-mails i am going to send out. if i click send button, the e-mail will be sent out (php mail() called).

now, instead of i manually click the button to call the mail() funciton, i would like to be able to set up the date/time to send out this e-mail automatically. (such as call mail() automatically.)

how?

thanks.

Use Windows' task scheduler or Linux's cron.
