php countup

[grlayouts]

OK i have a site that i want to automate a reset. I want a counter that will go to say 4000

 

so every 15 mins it will +1 ie. 1/4000

 

when it gets to 4000 i want it to run a file that resets my site (file i already have created and working)

 

any ideas?

Possibly set a timestamp in a db table since the last reset, and on user requests, check the time stamp, and if the timestamp is greater than the timestamp, perform a reset, if not then resume....

 

just a suggestion?

Cronjobs would probably be your best bet.

i have cron jobs that help run the counter up. but how do i code a

 

when counter>4000 run reset.php

[code]
<?php

$next_reset = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+1000 hours'));

echo "Next reset due at $next_reset";
?>

Set up a cron job to run at that time. (I don't know if you have option of "every 1000 hours")

 

Part of the reset program would be to set the next time for the cron job (this is left as an exercise for the reader )

 

Or you could write that time to a text file and, if you have a process that runs frequently, get it check if that time has been reached then reset the files and the next_reset_time in the text file.[/code]

so how do i get it to run the reset.php?
