PHP Email Script

[JBebbington]

Hey all, thanks for reading and if possible helping out.

I am creating a turnkey site, which is an advanced mailing list. The concept is this.

People sign up and get sent a confirmation email, telling them that they have sucsessfull signed up for the "company A" Emailing list. I have 7 emails that will be sent to the subscribers. They will recieve them in order, one daily. So It may go like this.

Monday 1st: User signs up. Confirmation Email sent.
Tuesday 2nd: Email number 1 sent to that user.
Wedsnesday 3rd: Email Number two sent.
Thursday 4th: Email Number three sent.
And so on...

I have no idea how I would go about doing this without using the mail() function and doing it manually, and want to automate it to send predefined emails out. Preferably without cron. If anyone could tell me how it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your help,
Josh.

I think you need to use cron jobs for this..

Ok, that should be possible, I think my host may allow cron.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this with cron?
