I have a few ideas about this but here is what I need to do and just wanted some second opinions really.
I am writing a small auction site in PHP/SQL, but I have come up against a hurdle.
When an item finishes, much like eBay, I need to be able to tell that it’s finished and send out the emails to who has won it and who has sold it.
The only way I can think of is to schedule a piece of code to keep checking what auctions have ended but surely there is a better way?
Please be kind to share the SQL script that query the highest bidder based on the bidding end date (how to know the bidding is over) and award the product to the highest bidder
