Simple auto email alert in PHP

Question

I need to implement a simple email alert in PHP.

The question is:

There is anyway to send emails without access directly the web page?

I tought in something like this: every access of anyone, the system run a "trigger" (routine) to send every emails need for that date...

Any better idea?

Answer 1

Make php script and then set a cron job on server for the time interval you need to send mails.
