RE: [PHP-DB] Scheduling php task

or alternatively, if you don't have access to recompiling or anything like that, set up a cron job to use lynx to hit a page (which is your php script) when required. you can even set event times in a db and have that script check the db for anything that needs to be run and then perform that operation.

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.
