is it possible for php to execute tasks on its own?
example, a birthday reminder, someone submits data to a database, then recieves an email on their birthday.
I assume this is not possible with serverside scripting. what do they use to do this.
You can get scripts on the server to run at specified times using cron tab
for info on cron tabs, go to your bash prompt and type in 'man 5 crontab'
