Re: Can php auto execute it's script in schedule without opening a webpage?

The other replies you received are correct - but if you somehow DON'T have a CLI PHP (e.g. using PHP3 for some strange reason, or too lazy to upgrade), you can use the same crontab/scheduler to execute wget (recommended on *nix) or lynx (available for both Win and *nix) to retrieve the actual page via HTTP.

Dear all I just wonder did anyone know if php can act as a scheduler rather than execute script manually? i want to set a schedule for php to run certain script at specify time, to what i understood in php is : the script can only be process when a homepage had been execute. but i want the script to be excute even no one open a homepage contain php script in it! is there anyway i can do that? thx Jack
