well i have a similar script to what you are probably asking of... when a user uploads a file to the server i have it send me an e mail to tell me there has been a file put on the system.

just drop an e mail script at the bottom..

PHP Code:


			
//lets send the e mail with the data...

$to = "tim@tentun.co.uk";

$subject = "New template!";

$filename = str_replace(" ", "%20", $filename);

$body = 'New template has been uploaded by ' . $thename . ' E-Mail - ' . $themail . ' Template name - ' . $thetemplatename . ' URL - ' . $urlloc . $filename . '';

$headers = "From: tim@tentun.co.uk\r\n" .

    "X-Mailer: php";

if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {

  echo("<p>A notification has been sent to the site and your template will be added ASAP!</p>");

 } else {

  echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");

 }

Thats just an example of my e mail message that should be sent.. my full layout is

PHP Code:


			
<?php

   // Configuration - Your Options

      $allowed_filetypes = array('.zip','.txt'); // These will be the types of file that will pass the validation.

      $max_filesize = 2097152; // Maximum filesize in BYTES (currently 2MB).

      $upload_path = '../uploads/'; // The place the files will be uploaded to (currently a 'files' directory).

 

   $filename = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; // Get the name of the file (including file extension).

   $ext = substr($filename, strpos($filename,'.'), strlen($filename)-1); // Get the extension from the filename.

 

   // Check if the filetype is allowed, if not DIE and inform the user.

   if(!in_array($ext,$allowed_filetypes))

      die('The file you attempted to upload is not allowed.');

 

   // Now check the filesize, if it is too large then DIE and inform the user.

   if(filesize($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']) > $max_filesize)

      die('The file you attempted to upload is too large.');

 

   // Check if we can upload to the specified path, if not DIE and inform the user.

   if(!is_writable($upload_path))

      die('You cannot upload to the specified directory, please CHMOD it to 777.');

 

   // We'll start handling the upload in the next step

Your best bet is to look into creating a cron job. You can run a script on your web site that will emulate this by checking the time and performing the specified task if it is or is past a specific time, however you're then adding the overhead to each and every visitor of your web site.
