$5 USD for a working script

mholt · 12-14-2005, 09:30 AM

Hello,
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/148020-5-usd-for-a-working-script.html

I need a PHP script that goes through all rows in a table and:

A) If the field "last_login" is 20 days old or more, it sends an email to the user, email field being "email" notifying that he/she has 10 days to do login to his/her account to keep it from being deleted.

B) DELETES the row if the "last_login" field is 30 days old or more.

The catch? This must be tested on YOUR OWN SERVER!

I want to see a WORKING SAMPLE - this script is for www.VirtualDN.com - and I simply cannot risk a script glitch on my own server.

The dates are stored in this PHP date() format: F d, Y

That's:

February 02, 2005

...similar to that. Convert it if you must but I need it to be bug-free.

Thanks for anybody who can do this... $5 will be sent via PayPal to a working script.
-Matt

You didn't give enough information (name of the user, mysql type of the date, database type, ...) but you can use this to create your own script:

PHP Code:

  <?

 
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');

 
if (!$link)

{

    die("Can't connect: " . mysql_error());

}

else

{

    mysql_select_db('foo');

 
    echo "Deleting users who didn't log in during the last 30 days<br />";

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=148020
    

    mysql_query("delete from user_table where date_sub(curdate(), interval 30 day) > last_login");

    

    $result = mysql_query("select id, email from user_table where date_sub(curdate(), interval 20 day) > last_login");

    

    if (!$result)

    {

        die("Error: Invalid query: " . mysql_error());

    }

    

    echo "Sending mail top users who didn't log in during the last twenty days:<br />";

    

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))

    {

        if (mail($row['email'], "Log in", "Or your account is killed"))

        {

            echo 'Sent mail to user with ID ' . $row['id'] . "<br />";

        }

        else

        {

            echo 'Mailing user with ID ' . $row['id'] . " failed <br />";

}

I told you the type of date - F d, Y which really only fits in VARCHAR... use some logic. Database type... MySQL .... really: What other database system implements w/ PHP so well and is used so commonly?

I am not willing to buy a script from somebody that does not know what they're doing. Please write an original script for you to get your $5 - again it must be tested on your own server.

I really appreciate 15 year olds who store timedate stamps in varchar fields telling me I don't know what I'm doing. The script works well (assuming you knew how to set up database tables, which you unfortunately don't) and it's tested on my server.

Edit: Here, because I'm a nice guy: Look into the MySQL cast operator to create a workaround for your horrible table design. Something like "select cast(last_login as date) from table". Maybe you're lucky and that works.

mholt · 12-14-2005, 02:00 PM

I'm glad you appreciate the fact that I told you that you don't know what you're doing. Your welcome.

And, obviously you don't know what you're doing since I specifically ask that I see a sample of it.

Now bug off and I would appreciate it if somebody else could follow my criteria.

lol, after talking to him like that ... do you really expect someone to help you ???

mch · 12-14-2005, 04:14 PM

Yeah, you need to post the table structure at least. And honestly, if this is such a critical thing for you (and obviously it is and you can't risk screwing up your server/database/site), I think you should offer more.

BTW, sjp's solutions looks fine to me (different coding style, though

).

mholt · 12-14-2005, 04:17 PM

Table structure ... why? I give you the fields that are used ...

jdk · 12-16-2005, 02:50 PM

Wow, very interesting thread. Let me get right on this for you.

mholt · 12-16-2005, 02:57 PM

THANK you!

Many thanks again. I look forward to seeing your results

mholt · 12-18-2005, 05:38 PM

Any progress?

Btw, jdk, how am I supposed to reply to your PM when you have disabled Private Messages?

jdk · 12-18-2005, 05:58 PM

I sent an email to tech to find out why since in my options it says they are enabled.
