The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Php and Cronjob with mail

Asked by doRodrigo in PHP and Databases, MySQL Server, PHP Scripting Language

Tags: php

Hi. My difficulty is the following:

I want to put on, a form with the following fields: From, To, Subject, Message, Hour, Day, Month, Year, Sent. These fields should be recorded in an MySql database.

After the data is recorded there should be a Cronjob that activated automatically another php script that would compare the current date, in a select, to the recorded in the database, if it found any records with the same date it should send an email to the designated in the database.

The function date("r", time()) give me something like this:
Wed, 10 Dec 2008 20:00:32 -0600

First: How do I use this to compare with the fields: hour, day, month, year ?

Second: How do I do the comparison after I retrieved the SELECT?

There are two codes the first is the one accessed by the form and the second is the one that should be accessed by the cron.

I'd like for the Cronjob to run every hour, but could make it work, I' using CPANEL, if any of you could help me with this code also it would be apreciated.
