I have an existing system to submit articles using PHP into a MySQL database. I would like to implement some sort of queue, so I was wondering if I could allow the submitter to select a date/time and then the Insert would perform at that time. Is this possible?

    A better way to accomplish this is not to time the insert, but to time the publishing of the article. Instead of inserting at a specified time:

    • If the author selects a time that is in the future, add the time to publish_time column
    • When displaying the article only display the ones in which publish_time is in the past.
