[SOLVED] Cron Jobs

[Ads]

I hear a bit about them?

 

What are they, and how do you use them?

[JasonLewis]

cron jobs are timers that run at certain times... you can set it to run every minute or every hour. what it does is runs the code which tells it to run the php file. they are useful if you send out emails to people daily and you dont want someone to have to activate the script, instead the server activates it for you.
