Hi, This might be a newbie question but I can't find an answer anywhere I search. I know php can be excuted by a web browser, but can it run as a script like Perl? The reason i ask is, I need to write a php script that updates a database in a server. And this script needs to be running in the background as a service, that's why i was wondering if I can excute it like a perl script. If it can't, do you guys know if I can use perl to call up a php script? Please advise. Thanks, Kelvin
