Php Scheduler

[boulau]

Hello..
I want to know if there is a way to schedule a php script??
Like on Cold Fusion for instance, with the Cold Fusion scheduler
where you can choose to execute a script once a day when you want...
Is it possible in PHP??
Thank you

There´s not possible to do something like a cron in PHP :-(

Hi,

well if you have a PHP page which frequently gets hits, you could program something like this.
For example: you have a script that you want to daily execute. You would need a database and a page that gets executed for than once every day. Every time a user opens that page the script looks up a value in the database, which tells it when your script was executed last. If that time is older than 24 hours, than it will execute the script now.
