**Note:** A mailing is sent (in contrast to ''mailResume()'') only once per recipient, even if the function is called up repeatedly. Sending different mailings is possible -- e.g. an invitation to take part in the second wave of the survey in 14 days and a further invitation to the third wave in 1 month. | **Note:** A mailing is sent (in contrast to ''mailResume()'') only once per recipient, even if the function is called up repeatedly.

**Tip:** | **Tip:** There are numerous websites on the internet that can covert a date into a Unix timestamp. For example: [[http://www.unixtime.de/|unixtime.de]]. The PHP [[http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php|Date/Time Functions]] (in particular ''[[http://php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php|mktime()]]'' and ''[[http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php|strtotime()]]'') are ideally suited to this purpose. |

**Tipp:** Im Internet gibt es zahlreiche Websites, die ein Datum in einen Unix-Zeitstempel umrechnen können, z.B. [[http://www.unixtime.de/|unixtime.de]]. Auch die [[http://www.php.net/manual/de/ref.datetime.php|Datums- und Zeit-Funktionen]] von PHP (insbesondere ''[[http://php.net/manual/de/function.mktime.php|mktime()]]'' und ''[[http://www.php.net/manual/de/function.strtotime.php|strtotime()]]'') sind dafür hervorragend geeignet. | ===== Example ===== |

===== Beispiel ===== | A participant was invited to take part in the questionnaire via a mailing. 14 days after he clicked on the link, and thus accessed the questionnaire, he should receive an invitation to the second questionnaire (mailing no. 2) |

Ein Teilnehmer wurde per Serienmail zum Fragebogen eingeladen. 14 Tage, nachdem er auf den Link geklickt und damit den Fragebogen aufgerufen hat, soll er eine Einladung zum zweiten Fragebogen erhalten (Serienmail Nr. 2). | |

Anstatt die Funktion ''strtotime()'' zu bemühen, kann das Zeitinterval auch in Sekunden spezifiziert werden: 14 Tage = 336 Stunden = 1209600 Sekunden. | Instead of using the function ''strtotime()'', the time period can also be specified in seconds: 14 days = 336 hours = 1209600 seconds. |
