Birthday reminder for all my users mysql - php

Question

I want to make a birthday reminder and from here I don't know what to do.
In my MySQL users DB U have birthdate with [month/day/year] And is not working,no error, i updated my bday with this day and still no activity.
This is what I have so far:
<?php
$conn = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=tbl', 'user', 'pass');
$today = date("m.d.y");
$sqlb = "SELECT `birthdate`, `name`, `surename` FROM `mls_users` WHERE birthdate = '$today'";
$userz = $conn->query($sqlb);
foreach ($userz as $row) {
$name = $row['name'];
$surename = $row['surename'];
echo 'Todays is'.$name.' '.$surename.' birthday';
}
?>

Answer 1

I suppose you want to create an email notification.
$mail_content = '';
foreach ($userz as $row) {
$name = $row['name'];
$surename = $row['surename'];
$mail_content .= 'Todays is'.$name.' '.$surename.' birthday. <br>';
}
// send mail to you
// mail code
if($mail_content){
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $mail_content, $headers);
}
If you have the users email IDs saved in your Db you can send email to them
foreach ($userz as $row) {
$name = $row['name'];
$surename = $row['surename'];
//mail code
//email message
$mail_content = 'Happy birthday '.$name.' '.$surename.' !. <br>';
$to = $row['user_email']; //users email field
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $mail_content, $headers);
}
