Hi,
I am looking to build an PHP application which will automatically send
birthday greeting email to subscribers. The content of that email will
change from time to time. Please help. Links to tutorial to accomplish
this objective is very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Grab the PHP manual, MySQL Manual, an editor, and start reading ;-)
Try Google for any PHP/MySQL Tutorials, there are loads.

You don't want your web application sending the emails. Remember that the
PHP app will only run when someone makes a web request. If no one happens
to make a web request on a Sunday, your app won't run at all.
You should use something like cron to fire off a task once a day to query
the database, format and send the email. You could write that task in PHP,
but it doesn't have to be.
