How to build automatic reminder for customers

R

Richard

I need to add an automatic furnace filter change reminder page for our
customers. I have some basic code but it uses javascript and ASP but my
webhost uses PHP. Any suggestions on how I can make this work?

Here's the code I have so far:

<html>

<head>

<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">

<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="fmi-blends 1011, default">
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tlb, default">
</head>

<body>

<!-- the middle row contains the page content and sidebar -->
<tr>
<td>
<!-- this table will split the middle row into 3 columns -->
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="0">

You would have to learn to do it with PHP or move to a Windows IIS web host.

Thanks, Thomas. I don't know anything about PHP but have done a little
reading on it this afternoon. There is a calendar ITWCalendar that is written
in PHP and it's free. It appears that it has a scheduling function with
e-mail notification and is uses a secured log in/password approach. I've
forwared that information to my web host to see if he can handle it.

Thanks,
