In addition to what others have said, you don't _have_ to set up the cron job (or any scheduled job) on the same computer as your scripts. If you have a Cable/DSL connection, you could set up a cron job on your own computer to connect to http://www.yourdomain.com/cron.php and run it when you need it. If you have windows, you can even do the same thing with Task Scheduler. Yeah, it makes things a little more difficult, but it's doable. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
