re: Birthday Reminders

You are able to query the DB and see if the date equals today, if so display happy birthday message. Is that the type of thing you are after?

re: Birthday Reminders

Once a week you should query the database for upcoming birthdays.
Your query should retrieve any birthdays that are greater than that day and less than one week from that day.

For more information on how to query a database please check out
