RE: [PHP] Re: Running PHP as a cron job....

You can still run php... I put my cron scripts in a directory on the web server, just makes sure they are all safe to run multiple times in case someone finds it then make a script that for each entry in that directory invokes the script. mines in python so you just import urllib and then for each file in the directory urllib.urlopen ('<server name>/cron/<whatever>.php') and make it run your python script nightly and it will run any php script you put in that directory. -----Original Message----- From: James, Yz [mailto:liljim@btconnect.com] Sent: Monday, July 09, 2001 3:54 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Re: Running PHP as a cron job.... Thanks for all of your help on this. My host admin have informed me that php is installed only for the web, and not as a cgi, so that's what was going wrong (it wasn't down to my own naievity afterall.....) So, it's time to learn perl (or bash). Thanks again for all your comments and help.
