I dunno, it seems overly general but not actually off topic.

On a unix (Linux, BSD, Unix) system you would set up a cron job that
executes a php script every night to that loops through each account
and emails the next picture.

I'm not sure how you would do this on Windows but there must be a way.

It gets much more interesting if you have > 10,000 accounts or a
limited time window in which to send the pictures, at which point you
need to create a more sophisticated architecture with multiple
processes each sending to their own segment of the user base.
