Hello,
This is a reply to an e-mail that you wrote on Tue, 17 Jun 2003 at 17:59, lines prefixed by '>' were originally written by you. > Is there a way to run a script (to check a table for new fields, or to > check time..etc) evrey few hours, without using programes souch as > crontab. > Paul > GnuPG Key http://sgi.rdscv.ro/~paulm/paulm.PGP Using a cron job is by far the best bet, if you are not allowed cron jobs on the webserver do you have access to another computer that you can run cron jobs on (you could call the PHP script using lynx from the other server). A work around is that you could have an include in each of your pages that checks the time and decides whether to do the tasks you were going to do in the cron job. This will only work if you have a busy site and if your cron job does not take long to execute though.
