ricky_vancouver Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hey guys and gals, Here's my problem. I just finished programming an online game and I have some php script that generates xml files. Well, to do this, I type in the address of the file on the server and pass it to variables in the addressbar. It then queries a database and does everything fine and dandy. Problem is, I need it to do that automatically. I cannot be sitting at my computer 24-7 typing stuff in the address bar. Is there a way I can run the php script and pass those variables automatically?

BlueSkyIS Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 If you are on non-Windows, look into crontab, which can schedule down to once per minute. Windows has... AT, I believe. Someone else would be better to answer for Windows.
