Hello All,
I have come accross a very interesting as well as a very complex
scenario with my current project. My worry is the scheduling of email
messages and execution of that based on the cron jobs.
For this I am using cron .Suppose Cron is set to execute a file after
every five minutes .It executes and returns all the details of
scheduled emails suppose 10.
Now my problem is how can I synchronize this with the current date
and time so that each and every messge is being sent at correct date/
time.
Thanks ,

Store the time to be sent with the email to be sent, and only send those
in need of sending? If you want more details, we'll have to know how
scheduled mails are stored.

Not sure what the problem is.
If its standard mails to be sent at standard times, edit the cron script.
If its a message to be sent once at a particular time, use the 'at '
command.
Not sure where PHP comes into this either...

It seems you want something like this class. It stores scheduled
messages in a database for later delivery eventually with cron: http://www.phpclasses.org/newsletter

I've seen questions about scheduling ASP scripts posted in this group
many times so hopefully this will be useful information to a few
people.
I just wanted to let you all know that our script scheduling service at
www.cronservice.co.uk has been rewritten from the ground up and is now
better than ever. If you are looking for a way to schedule your ASP
scripts and don't have access to cron or task scheduler then you need
this service.

I would like to use the AT command under Win XP to schedule (CLI)
php.exe. I thought it would be as easy as: AT 7:11 "php

is inducing the gag reflex in me, so perhaps someone can point out an
improvement.
himom.php (to show a Message Box) looks like so:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
