Command Line PHP help

[Howler72]

Hello all,

I am excited to be a member of the PHP world. I was recently assigned a task at work to create a php script to automate the running a mysql script to that will retrieve a list of users to send an automated email. Are there any good references for this. I am completely new to the PHP world.

Cheers!! 🙂

Easiest way would be to create your PHP/MySQL script in the normal way, and run it from a web browser to test it.

Then, use the server's automation (e.g. cron on Linux) to set how often you want the script to run.

Have a look around for CRONning PHP jobs on Linux.
