johnsmith153 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I want to run certain tasks in the background and not on user request (e.g. send a transactional email and then based on the response do another action).If I had a script which added this info to a database:- PHP class- PHP method- parameters to pass to that method- etc...and then every 5 minutes one Cron Task retrieved all the data from this database and executed those tasks (using class, method and params), is this secure?It sounds a great idea to me. I could just store details of any class and method (and params) and have it run later.If there was only one or two tasks then I suppose I could just write a specific script and execute as a Cron Task, but this gives me flexibility to run anything.

trq Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Sounds feasible. I would personally prefer to use a queuing system of some sort, but whatever floats your boat.
