Which PHP.
You can check when the last mail was send and than send a new one. And
you can put it in our website. And when anyone view this side that
script will run and do what you want.
Example (which not works)
index.php
<?php
// Read last timestamp
$file_name = "last_mail";
$file = fopen($file_name, "r+");
$content = fread($file, filesize($filename));
$time = time();
if($file[0] >= $time + $diff) {
include "mailscript.php";
// Write time back to file
fseek($file, 0);
fwrite($file, $time);
}
fclose($file);
?>
