[davieboy]

Hello everyone,
im looking for some help here

I want to archive some data using a cron job, everytime a script has been run a certain number of times.

Whats the best way of going about this?

You could add something like this to your script:

$counter = './counter.txt';
$job = './sort_of_cron.php';
$frequency = 3;

if (file_exists($counter)) {
    $number = file_get_contents($counter);
} else {
    $number = 0;
}

$fp = fopen($counter, 'w');
fwrite($fp, ++$number);
fclose($fp);

echo 'Script has been run ' . $number . ' times.<br />';
if (!($number % $frequency)) {
    include($job);
    echo $job . ' has been run.';
}
