Automatic notification of new web content

[dcass]

My company wants to implement a document web server to eliminate some
paper. Has anyone used a product or developed code that can notify
users (via email) when new documents have been posted?

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks!

That's fairly easy to implement.
If you are going to upload documents via HTTP-upload (web-form).
Extend the form-action script which takes care of the actual file-upload
with the call to the mail() function...

would this be a local server in your company? if so, easy, easy stuff.

set up a linux box, add a user named: allemployees and create a .forward
file in /home/allemployees/ and ad one email address per line for each
employee.

then you just have the php script fire one email to allemployees and
sendmail will do the rest.
