Anyone already an idea?
A PHP script…
- add a “Last emailed” date to the entry which stores the current date when the entry is created
- implement a cron task which runs every day that looks into this table and finds any dates that are older than today minus three months
- send the email to these people
- update the value of the date field to today’s date
That’s a good idea.
How can I get the data out of the xml document with PHP?

Dear Symphony colleague,
I’m almost finished with a big project that uses Symphony and the “Frontend Membership” extension.
Visitors can register themselves into the member section of the website. 3 months after the registration the member has to receive an email with a reminder to update their member data. After another 3 months (in total 6 months after the registration data) the member has to receive the same reminder again. After another 3 months (in total 9 months after the registration data) the member has to receive the same reminder again…. and so on.
Does anyone know how I can achieve this email sending?
