php and cron jobs

[oracle259]

Is there anyway to set up a cron job from within php itself. If so how?

[zq29]

You could do it something like this:
[code]<?php
$h = fopen("path/to/my/cron/file/cron.txt","w");
fwrite($h,"59 23 * * * /path/to/my/scripts/script.php\r\n");
fclose($h);
exec("crontab path/to/my/cron/file/cron.txt");
?>[/code]
