Running scripts based on server time

[23style]

I need to run a php script every day of the week on my server. How would I go about doing this?

I looked into cron tasks but the way it was setup on my server made it look like it was a 1 time deal and i couldnt get it to work anyway.

Any help on this is much appreciated.

Thanks 😃

You can use cron to run a script every day of the week, it is easy.

A simple crontab entry to run a script every night at 11:30 pm would look something like this ...

30 23 * /var/www/html/myscript.php

That is assuming you run PHP as a CGI and not an apache mod.

If you run PHP as an apache mod, you can use lynx or something to execute your scripts.
