You need to write Cron job for that. For writing, you follow below steps 1. Include cronRun.php file with the command to run
2. inside protected folder write mail sending function inside commands folder
for ex:
class PendingMailCommand extends CConsoleCommand { public function actionIndex() { ....... //Mail sending code, database query code } }
3. set command in cron job in your server
