Hi all,

 

Just a quick question:

 

Can cron jobs loop through my database and pick out users to remind them they're subscription is up in a month?

 

I'll have to run this script everyday as if someone set up an account on the 22nd and then someone set up an account on the 23rd etc..

 

In short can a cron job query databases?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Wayne.

Yes, a cron job is simply a way to run a command at a specific time. if you're running a script, it will run just like any other script and is allowed to do what any other script can

Excellent so I just write my usual php databse querys as usual then with the parameters on when i want the script to run?

Yep just make the script, and set up the cron job in your cpanel

Fantastic.

 

Thanks Jay
