Not using crontabs - possible?

[avillanu]

I'd like to have a "daily views" for my CMS. Of course, this number would reset every 24 hours. Would this be possible without a crontab?

I Found This Code Which Simluates A Crontab

 

Description:

If you want to simulate a crontask you must call this script once and it will keep running

forever (during server uptime) in the background while "doing something"

every specified seconds (= $interval):

<?php
ignore_user_abort(); // run script in background
set_time_limit(0); // run script forever
$interval=60*15; // do every 15 minutes...
do{
   // add the script that has to be ran every 15 minutes here
   // ...
   sleep($interval); // wait 15 minutes
}while(true);
?>

$date = date("d-m-Y").' 00:00:00;

// show views from only today($date) onwards

 

I don't know how your accessing this data (MySQL, arrays etc...) so I can't really assist you any more than I have.

 

This will take place everytime the page loads but that's all you need.

 

Hope it helps.
