Hi
I have a site in PHP on IIS 6 and need some sort of scheduling

functionality for sending emails via php scripts, running scripts on

database etc.

I worked a bit with Crone Jobs for this however I was wondering if there

is something better then that. Site is developed in PHP / MySQL and

running on Windows 2003 with IIS 6.

Any help!

when you say crone jobs, are you talking about cron? It's a linux function.

You should be using scheduled tasks in windows. To my knowledge this function is the only one you will have the desired results with, short of manual processing. If you need more info, let me know.
