trigger php file

[pluginbaby]

Hi,

I have created a php file. I can run it on my server and it works perfectly.
I was wondering now: is there any possible way I can run the file on the server every 15 minutes automaticly (this is: I don't trigger the file myself) ??

You can do by setting up a cron job if you are on a unix based server, or Schedule if you are on a wndows bases server.

and how I do that?  ;D

I think I have a windows server.

seems like I have a unix based server.

I can do a crontab.
But I don't understand how it works. I need to input:minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week, command

what I need to write inthere if I want it to run every 15 minutes?
the file I want to run is called update.php and is located: www.myadres.de/main/update.php

sorry to bother you again.

I can do only 1 cron job every month on my website.
Isn't there another way I can do it?

Why does it need to be updated every 15 mins

If its for user show, then add it on the code.
and when the user goes to see it, its updated straight away

now that I think about it, what you just said is a good idea. Stupid of me not to think about that earlier.

Thank you so much. It works now as it should work :)
