auto emailing script

[vanbao]

Hi, I am looking for any script (java, cgi, or php) that would be able to parse through a flat file .txt database. It will be able to read the birthdate field of the database and send an email (email address in email field) the the record corresponding to the person with that birthday.

I am trying to do is make a little birthday database containing people I know with birthdates and email. Everyday, the script will automatically parse through the database when if a birthday comes up, it will send out an email saying happy birthday or etc...

Thank you so much.
