I'm trying to set up a "reminder" system in my phone through php. I have a form set up for me to input an email(which is actually my phone number address so it is sent as a SMS) and send a message to myself. I'm using the basic code:
mail( $to, '$subject', $message );
Right now my emails are sent immediately when the php is run. Is there a way to specify a date and time for the email to be sent?
By CRON jobs, We can set an interval by which a specific PHP script is executed repeatedly.
The logic here is: PHP script checks if the specified date/time to send the email is already passed or not. If passed, send the email.
If we set the CRON job interval to 1 hour, in the worst case, the email can be sent with the delay of 1 hour and the best case can be as low as 1 second..
By the way you will have to add the date field to your form to specify the date or time at which you will have to send the email
Sorry, the answer could not be made any longer than this.
Yes there is a way: CRON jobs

question: is it possible to send over an email to an email provider, and include datetime value to schedule the actual sending of the email?
say I run a campaign for 100 users residing in different timezones, so I execute the campaign once from my side, however, i want the ISP/email provider to queue/schedule depending on a datetime value that I can pass?
I need to trigger an email with all the stats like Count of Rows which are successfully loaded in the target, Failed rows count with the help of Informatica Powercenter.
So where can I find this information for the Workflow and how can I used that information to trigger the email to respective people.
There is an email task present in the Informatica which I am hoping I can use that.
You can use built-in session parameters to collect session run details, e.g.:
$PMSessionName: Name of the Informatica session.
$PMSourceName#TableName: Name of the source table name.
$PMTargetName#TableName: Name of the target table name.
$PMSourceQualifierName#numAffectedRows: Number of records returned
from source.
$PMTargetName#numAffectedRows: Number of record
inserted/updated into the target table.
$PMTargetName#numRejectedRows: Number of records error out in target.

you are right. You can use e mail task. Or you can use post session email command to send mail with statistics - like output file, counts etc.
I need to trigger an email with all the stats like Count of Rows which are successfully loaded in the target, Failed rows count with the help of Informatica Powercenter.
Since you are looking for session level count, you may want to look into using post-session email and using the email variables.
...trigger the email to respective people. There is an email task present in the Informatica which I am hoping I can use that.
If you need to use email task, in the link going to email task, you can double-click on the link, and set link condition to trigger which email task to go towards.
i am not able to initiate mails from one of my workflow . i have created one workflow with 2 stages, first one detects the recurrence and second one creates the new task if the first task has been completed.
And another workflow which sent out mails "3" days before start date. This sending mails 3 days before start date is not working, however if i will create the workflow just to sent mails on the start date then that would work fine.
I don't see anything in these steps that would send an email 3 days before the start date. This workflow calculates a reminder date 3 days before the start date, but then the next step only sends the email if the Start Date is before the Reminder Date -- since the Reminder date is always 3 days before Start Date, Start Date will Never be before Reminder Date, thus the email will not be send.
I think you need to add a step before the Send Emails step that says if Reminder Date is greater than Today, then use a Pause until Date to pause until the Reminder Date. Then you can remove the second conditional in the Email step so that all you are checking is the Status before sending the email.
I would like to understand how can I capture emails sent to different random email ids generated by server in one inbox to run analysis on those emails something like this website does : https://www.mail-tester.com/
Here , with each page referesh, you would notice a new random email id is generated. If an email is sent to this random email id, the mail-tester server captures that email, assesses it using spamassassin and generates a report. I want to understand how can we capture emails sent to so many different random email ids in a single inbox so that they can be assessed by spamassassin or any other utility.
Practial implementation for unix/linux sendmail using procmail as its local mailer.
Use FEATURE(virtusertable) to redirect messages for xyz#test.example.net to user+xyz (user user with +xyz "detail").
~user/.procmailrc will process incoming messages upon delivery. xyz (+detail) will be available via $1.

I'm writing a script to analyze my mailbox and want to periodically check for new messages. The search criteria would be: give me the UIDs for all emails with UID greater than X, where X is the UID of the last email I processed.
Or, more generally, I'm looking for a way to only see messages since my last search.
Note that I'm not looking for seen/unseen messages; the script opens the mailbox as read-only, and I'd like it to not interfere with my flags, etc.
I know I can specify a date in the IMAP search, but the granularity of that seems to be by day, so not exactly what I need.
I'm starting with Gmail as the IMAP server, but would like to support generic IMAP servers in the future.
Is there way to search for emails with UID greater than X? Or another means of specify all messages since message X?
You can use IMAP SEARCH for UIDs. Assuming your most recently fetched UID is 1999, I think you would do:
SEARCH UID 2000:*
Why not use IMAP IDLE for this?
with IMAP IDLE, the server warns you every time a new message arrives
