hi all,

Ok i have a site (Jake Welton) but i would like to have a service which enables users to set reminders then when it comes to say 1 week before the date, it sends out an email to the user. I have done some research and found out that CRON jobs or Scheduler Events can do this. My problem is that i do not have the feature to use these two types of reminder systems.

My question is this, is there a way of settings reminders without using CRON jobs or Scheduler Events??

Many Thanks,
J

Yes. Cron jobs are to automatically run server side scripts and other things of that nature. Your user is accessing your web site so no need for a cron job. You can write a script in whatever server side language you are using to check and see if it is one week before the date specified when they access the page and then make a popup if it is.
