Question

I am using a MySQL database and PHP.
My MySQL database contains the following records:

  Name  Address    Data    email             Date   Joy   Fortblair  10     [e-mail]    1/22/2009   Bob   Atlanta    15      [e-mail]    2/22/2009 

My intention is to send the email using PHP with the following conditions:

• The data is 1 day old. (Current date - date = 1 day)

• It should mail all the email records at one time.

What is the best way to get started?

Answer 1

The SQL query is pretty simple and it goes as following

SELECT *, TIMESTAMPDIFF(day, Date, NOW()) FROM `your_table_name` WHERE TIMESTAMPDIFF(day, Date, NOW()) = 1; 

Now you have to get the contents of the result and put them in a string

<?php $sql = ' SELECT *, TIMESTAMPDIFF(day, Date, NOW()) FROM `your_table_name` WHERE TIMESTAMPDIFF(day, Date, NOW()) = 1'; $query = mysql_query($query); $emailBody = ''; while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {    $emailBody .= 'Name: '.$row['Name'].'; Address: '.$row['Address'].'; Data: '.$row['Data'].'; Email: '.$row['email'].' \n'; }  mail('[e-mail]', 'Subject', $emailBody); ?> 

Enjoy!
