Say I want a MySQL database to have a table that holds certain events, the Event table. And in the event table, one of the records is an event that has a startdate of today, I want to check against that date, if it equals now, then do this....
Besides using CRON to hit that particular event table, is there any other method I am not thinking of that can be used with PHP? I want to check that event table every 5 minutes.
I guess you could write a PHP script that'll run continuously and check the database every 5 minutes, but you'd be better off (and probably use less resources) if you just used Cron/Task Scheduler.
