PHPlist: send automatically based on date/time??

[moirakris]

Is there a way to set up PHP List to automatically send out to the list say once a week and is there a way to set phplist to send email to a list based on predetermined date/time?


If so can someone please explain it to me in english. I've been over the PHPlist site and their mailing archives with a fine tooth comb and cannot figure it out.

You might want to check into using cron.

wel there are a couple of ways to go about that,
The best way is to use some time software like CRON or windows task manager to run a script every x amount of time.

u could also make a script with a clock in it that updates often, but this would be like writing your own time software and you would have to leave it open all the time to work properly... and who wants to reinvent the wheel anyway?

I learned a bit yesterday, today i learned a lot, imagine what i'll learn tomorrow!

Thanks, my control panel with my server has a cron tab, i will ask them about using it.

Warmest Regards

On UNIX use CRON and make LYNX visit your script. Just make sure the code keeps track of being triggered so it doesn't send out mail twice.
Works like a charm.
