Does anyone know if there is an easy way to run a php script at a specific time once a day please ? I want to automatically refresh a MySQL database with new data that has been input into my data area during the previous 24 hour period. I used to do this in my former PERL life with the CRON command, but after looking through the php manual, and Professional PHP programming, I can't see any equivalent php function that will do this. Obviously I could set up a timer loop on my server, but I don't want to tie the cpu up in constantly testing the time. I also couldn't see any scripts that try to do this on the various php script repositories
Many thanks
Glenn
