automatically send page

[btb]

Hi

I have a website that involves buses, and have a bus fleet allocation.

What i'm wanting to do is have it so once a week on a given day & time, the page automatically runs and sends the results (of what people see when the go to the page) to everyone in the user file (of which is a text/flat file).

How do I go about this?

well you would need to setup a cron job, and have a seporite php page just activate IIS or Apache and capture the output, (or just call the webpage as a file will do about the same thing) then just email the html as an html email to everyone.

Ok, i've heard of cron jobs, and seem them in my control panel, but have tried something like that before and had no sucess, and that was just sending it to me only.

I do have a working script, but the problem is you have to type in an email address to send to if you wanted it there & then, but the issue with that is that no matter what email address you send it to, it would only accept those email addresses of my server name "@myhost.com" type of thing.

What would be the best type of search terms to view such info about this?

you need to have it email to everyone, just have it loop through each user in the user profile and send the email or whatever to everyone. or you can send it to everyone slightly faster by BCCing it to everyone
