Doing it automatically

I've talked before about my BrandNewDay( ) function, and how it gets called once per day.

Sending out emails to members unconfirmed for 9 days, and deleting at 10 days is another example of how I use this function. To start with I added another call to BrandNewDay( )...

// ============================================
// anything that needs doing once per day!
// ============================================
function BrandNewDay ( )
{
   if ( Application ( 'BrandNewDay' ) == 1 )
   {
      // now set data into Application variables
      Application.Lock ( );

      Application ( 'BrandNewDay' ) = 0;

      Application.Unlock ( );

      // send out email or delete unconfirmed members
      RemindMembers ( );
   }
}

...and then I just had to write the function RemindMembers!
