So for a website, I want to have this site send an e-mail reminder to those who sign up. However, I only have figured out how to send the email as soon as the form is submitted stating that they have made a submission. I would like to be able to send a reminder at a specific date, lets say a week before the event they have signed up for. The problem is dealing with the input since it would have to be a variable. So I'm curious as to how I would go and make the site send a reminder email by taking the date of the event and storing that value but taking off a week. Then when that date hits, have it send an email stating that they have their event in one week. I'm not sure if this is possible but any help would be greatly appreciated.

What do you will happen if your website goes down? This suggests that you need to store such tasks permanently. Then you need some kind of a process/subprocess to read from that storage and complete the task when the time comes. So it's not THAT simple. Google for how people handle such tasks. It could be a Windows Service or another process bound to IIS. There are million ways to do it. – mostruash Nov 24 '14 at 21:39
