--cron job* to search that database and send out emails, at a specific point in time
--a PHP mail script that would alert all of the users
The third step is hardest. *a cron job is a task you can set on your server, if they are enabled, to run a script, etc. at a certain time. The other way would be to run this every time the page is accessed and only send the email if it is past a certain date, but this would be a bit much (and unreliable) in this case.
