Php - Batch Send Email with SwiftMailer. Send email notifications with php - MarkSanborn.net. In order to send an email notification on your site via php you will probably need some sort of scheduled task program.
This will execute the php script routinely. Since I tend to use open source software I used cron. Cron is found in Unix and Unix-like operating systems and is used to schedule commands to be executed periodically. It reads a series of commands from standard input and collects them into a file known as a “crontab” which is later read and whose instructions are carried out.
