Re: PHP 24 hour processes?

Windows also have something similar to cron Schedule accessory can also be set to execute some php every xxx minutes/days etc For linux it is much easier , create file eg cron.txt that has this content #=============================== * 1 * * * /home/user/cleanUpDB.php #=============================== save it and than enter in console crontab cron.txt this will install cron job that will execute /home/user/

cleanUpDB.php    script

every day at 1AM . One note on executing PHP scripts by cron ,you may want to include path of PHP binary as it may not be in PATH so * 1 * * * /library/php5/bin/php /home/user/cleanUpDB.php where /library/php5/bin/php is absolute path to yours PHP binary file On Feb 25, 2008, at 7:46 AM, Paul Scott wrote:

How can you perform a timed event in PHP; for example: Count 24 hours and then delete all rows in a database...

I thought that this question was answered in some detail before... Anyway, on *NIX based systems use cron.daily or on 'doze, use AT or command scheduler I think it's called. Either that or use a long running PHP process with ignore_user_abort() and a time of 86400 seconds :) --Paul All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/public/portal_services/disclaimer.htm --PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
