Hallo guyz . what do i need to make sure that my system sends reminder sms to my clients. my system is in PHP/Mysql
Thinking aloud: PHP is an event driven platform i.e. someone or something needs to do something for PHP to do something e.g. click a link or a button. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, like using Javascript to mimic user actions at regular intervals, but then this means the browser needs to be open all the time, something not possible on a serious server. But maybe you could setup a scheduled event in either windows or Linux which accesses a certain URL, then this URL just happens to be the one that sends the sms'es.... Or you could create a desktop application using PHP <http://gtk.php.net/>. Now that would be fun! :-) On Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 1:17 PM, John wambugu <bwambugu2004@yahoo.com>wrote:

I have systems running in PHP that do things periodically, I go round this by writing cron scripts in linux and specifying php as the intepretor of the scripts eg ================= #!/usr/bin/php <?php Include('Mail.php'); # pear mail ... ... # or using kannel to send an sms using http request file_get_contents('http://abcd/sendmessage?dst=072283743&msg=hello'); ?> ================= I then save that, put execute permissions (chmod +x filename) then put it on my cron Note that you have to have php-cli installed on linux That way its executed periodically. Same applies for windows (task scheduler) From: Peter Karunyu [mailto:pkarunyu@gmail.com] Sent: 25 June 2010 12:52 p To: Skunkworks Mailing List Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Enquires to the skunk community Thinking aloud: PHP is an event driven platform i.e. someone or something needs to do something for PHP to do something e.g. click a link or a button.
