stig1 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Is it possible to create a script that will run automatically at a certain time throughout the day without the user having to click a button or execute the page? I am looking at creating an update script for prices, stock etc, and the directors would like it to run every hour without the need for me to click a button or execute the script. Is this possible? If so, how? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132632-automation-script/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

revraz Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 A CRON job runs on the server, you have to learn how to set one up and how to set it for the time you want it to run. This has nothing to do with PHP. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/132632-automation-script/#findComment-689706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
