simple php cronjob question

[mybowlby]

i have very little experience with php and im trying to setup my cronjobs for the script i purchased. Can someone tell me where i would put the time it would reset?

 

i know my database settings going in the x's but where do i put the time to reset? the installation directions are not very clear. Thanks everyone!

 

<?php

$host="localhost";

$username="XXXXXX";

$password="XXXXXX";

$db_name="XXXXXX";

 

$connect = mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");

mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

 

$sql = "DELETE FROM `xtrm_train`";

mysql_query($sql,$connect);

 

 

?>

 

 

 

i also have the same question about this page with this code

 

<?php

$host="localhost";

$username="XXXXXX";

$password="XXXXXX";

$db_name="XXXXXX";

 

$connect = mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");

mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

 

$sql = "UPDATE xtrm_vip SET vip_days=vip_days-1 WHERE vip_days > 0";

mysql_query($sql,$connect);

 

?>

Cron has nothing to do with PHP.  You can use cron to run PHP scripts, but cron doesn't necessarily have to do with PHP.  Do you have a Linux box with cron on it? =/

yes i do. the installers direction were to update the time in those two files to what time  of day you want it to reset at.

No no no.  Cron is not something put into a PHP script.  Do you have a Cpanel?

If you are using Windows you can just setup a scheduled task to do the same thing kind of
