DarkWater Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Why in the world would you actually pay for Windows hosting? If you were on Linux, you could use cron, but I don't think that Plesk gives you access to the Windows scheduler program, which I think is crappy anyway (it's been a long time since I used Windows, so I don't remember).

themistral Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 You would need to write a PHP script that does the job you want it to do and use the Windows version of a cron job to automatically run it at set times - if it has one! I don't use Windows servers so am unsure what options are available.

There is a billion reasons I would use Windows (especially Server 2008) before Linux servers, but using Plesk atleast v8 you can set the schedule to run every x minutes \ days etc etc and what script to run etc etc. With HELM I had to specify the path to PHP IE c:\php\php-cgi.exe c:\domains\domain.com\wwwroot\script.php This worked.

discomatt Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Windows Server 2008 is fine.

DarkWater Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Btw, I meant "make up my mind", not "my mine". I think it was obvious, just wanted to clarify. xD Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/126352-how-to-send-periodic-emails-using-php/#findComment-653578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
