[snip] I've setup a simple PHP script that runs through a database table and sends an email to a group of members asking them to verify their information. My new ISP allows me to access the cron tab so we can have this script run at set intervals. However I'm a little new to the whole cron tab command line ... is it possible to have a PHP script execute on command from a cron tab? And if so, could someone proide an example of say having the script run on the first of every month? We're using 4.3.0 if that helps. [/snip]
Find out where the PHP executable is... which php ...should return something like /usr/local/bin/php Put the following line in your crontab 15 2 1 * * /usr/local/bin/php -q /path/to/your/script.php This will run in the 15th minute of the 2nd hour of the 1st of the month. The -q get PHP to run quietly. HTH! Jay -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
