I am working on a site that allows users to enter their phone number

  • 0

I am working on a site that allows users to enter their phone number and carrier, and choose a time to receive a daily alert via SMS.

I am inserting information (phone number, carrier, and time) into an SQL database, then using php’s mail() function to send SMS texts to their phone by email (i.e. if a Verizon user’s number is 123456789, I would send an SMS by emailing to 123456789@vtext.com).

I cannot figure out how to send the SMS every day repeatedly, as well as how to send it at the specific time the user selects. What approach could I take to do this?

    You need to use some scheduler application like “cron“ in Unix machines or “Scheduled Tasks“ in Windows machines. Use one of those apps to schedule a job for execute a php file at the time and day pattern you want.
