How can PHP best solve the purpose of being a trigger script? For example, I want a script to execute some pages when the localtime reaches a time. For example 15:35:16??
Thanks, Henrik
You either need to complie PHP to be a standalone (CGI) parser, or call the page using lynx (text browser).
We used the lynx method at my last job, and it worked alright. Just set a cron job to run lynx with the proper address.
Hi,
how can i kill lynx after the job is done?
Thank you
Martin
On Linux you can use cron. Win2K has the AT command which you can use to schedule jobs.
The BadBlue PHP server (for Win32 platforms) has a complete scheduling system built-in (see http://badblue.com/helpsch.htm for details) that is a little easier to use than cron.
See http://badblue.com/helpphps.htm for quick-start info on PHP.
