Timed actions
is there a way that something happens on a specific date or time WITHOUT requiring anybody to open a page?
an example would be in the calendar: e.g. I want to be reminded via email 2 days before an event happens. Is that possible? maybe just in mysql? It´d make a lot of things much easier. thx

RE: Timed actions
I don't think so, no. Depending on your access to the server - you could set up a Scheduled Task (Windows) to run php.exe at a specific time. (there must also be something like this in Linux too)
You could also have a constant script running in a loop, checking the time etc etc - this can use up a lot of system resources though.
