Email updates

Hi all,

I am building a recuitment site which is using a database to store jobs. Naturally, this gives the client the ability to add, edit, modify, delete all jobs on the database and gives the user the ability to seach the database for the jobs. Sounds fine right?

Now, what I also want to be able to do is give the user of the site the ability to enter their email address and certain keywords which will send out an email alert when a job becomes available. I do not have a clue where to begin on that.

I'm looking for help. Can someone point me to an article if one exists about how to go about doing this or sample code? I need to figure this out!

Thanks in advance.

Are you new to programming

there is one easy way, but will sound lil funny. you r storing the keywords in a diffrent column right so when ever there is a post for new job or whatever, Search your database with the keywords entered by the guy and while searching capture the email id of the same guy and use it to send the mails... **** simple in words but when you actually put in coding its pain.... but you first need to start on planning on it then you get the fastest way out......

how does one cut the tree real fast in time...
he would first sharpen his axe for hours then cut down the tree in minutes...
thats the way you need to go understand your requirements then go for looking way...
