RE: [PHP-DB] Scheduling php task

You can compile it as an executable (not an apache module), then schedule it with cron. Run ./configure without the -with-apache= switch. It should reconfigure for "cgi mode" (I think that's what it's called). After you 'make' it you'll get an executable called 'php'. Use can use this to process you php scripts from the command line ('php test.php'). They just warn you not to put this in your web directory, because it can be used against you to compromise your security. Hope it helps, Mario -----Original Message----- From: Valerio Ferrucci [mailto:valfer@flashnet.it] Sent: Monday, March 05, 2001 7:38 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Scheduling php task Does anyone know if is it possible to run a php script periodically (for example every night)?
