seventheyejosh Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yes. Edit: accidently hit submit. A cron is just a php script executed by the server at a predetermined interval. So yes, it is a .php file. Rather, all the ones i've ever used have been.

cunoodle2 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I think what the op is looking for is a way to physically execute and set up a cron job from a php file itself as apposed to manually having to set one up. stelthius can you please clarify your question for us?

stelthius Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hmmm i was thinking more along the lines of a basic editor, wich would allow me to write the cron, and save the cron with the specific title i chose so say i wanted to make script_update i could type that in and save it as that Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/166121-creating-crons-from-php/#findComment-876342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
