thehippy Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'm kind of guessing you intention that you want a cron service for Windows, but Windows already has a cron-like service called "Task Scheduler," there is a command line interface accessed via the at command and you'll find a "Task Scheduler" MS console in Control Panel > Administrative Tools which allows a bit more finesse. If you find yourself with lots of queue tasks you might want to setup a Message Queue Server like ActiveMQ to take in tasks and have your cron script process the queue every so often. If I'm totally off, you can use popen, here's an example.

Philip Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Main reason I ask is because you could also just include the file & use ignore_user_abort or just setup a cron Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/248588-php-in-the-background/#findComment-1276988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
