PHPBirthday is an easy to use birthday reminder using PHP, Perl & MySQL.

DISTRIBUTION AND USE PHPBirthday may be used and distributed according to the terms of the GNU General Public License, Version 2. OVERVIEW This simple PHP, Perl & MySQL project is designed to read a database of users and send out an automated email message on there Birthday. A separate Perl script needs to be setup in crontab to run once a day in the morning. Check back soon as the project is still in development and new features will be added. (See the README.txt and INSTALL.txt for more info.) QUICK SETUP OVERVIEW Step 1. Edit the config.php file (update values to match your setup). Step 2. Edit crontab (create a cron job that will run once a day in the morning). Step 3. Test the script with ./email.pl or perl email.pl If you would like to help with PHPBirthday.org send me an email. Currently I could use help with the devolpment process in adding in new features to help make the script more useful for others. This script was created after using birthday.pl v1.0 created by Nikola Pavkovic which I used for about 3 years. The reason for this project is that I would like to create a  easy to use birthday reminder that could be used and updated by everyone on a local intranet web portal. Right now I use this script for an office that has 5 people who need to keep track of about 30 employees. Its always nice know someone remembered your Birthday. This is the new birthday script that we have started to use and that I will continue to update. From now on, you will never forget a friend's birthday again :)   DOWNLOAD phpbirthday.tgz (9,316 bytes) Release Date: Feb-07-2008 Number Of Downloads: If you have any comments or suggestions please feel free to drop me a line ;) EMAIL : project23 (AT) phpbirthday (d0T) org WWW : http://phpbirthday.org
