[PHP] schedule a task
Hi, I have a form (POST method), that creates a back-up of a MySQL database as an SQL file when submited. I am looking for a way to automate this task (ie on a daily basis at midnight). Any idea on how to do it in PHP?

Re: [PHP] schedule a task
Set up a crontab that uses wget to hit that page everyday at midnight. You should use the flag in wget that tells it to delete the page that it downloads. I use that method sometimes.

Re: [PHP] schedule a task
you need some way of automating the process, and without cron automatically doing things for you, you're going to be pressed for a solution...i'm not sure what you could do because you need something to do this automatically...your host doesn't provide perl scripts to be cronned or anything like that? if not, i'm not sure what to tell you... jack - Original Message - From: Gab [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 3:32 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] schedule a task thanks for a quick response but I have a major problem with that: no shell access = can't use cron Any other idea?

RE: [PHP] schedule a task
thanks for a quick response but I have a major problem with that: no shell access = can't use cron Your Windows task manager? Just set it up to go to that page every night at your (not the server's) midnight... Chris
Re: [PHP] schedule a task
I'll check with the tech support but nothng is mentioned on the website. I can transform the method into GET on the form, and could call the script. The only way I see so far is using thi URL as a default page in my Win browser and automate sschedule the task in windows, but i don't like that.

Re: Re: [PHP] schedule a task
You can launch IE with an address as a paramater from task scheduler.
Example:
C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE http://somehost.com/somepath/somescript.php

Re: Re: [PHP] schedule a task
thanks,
That's what I did, and it works fine, was just hopping to find another way
than using cron, but still as a server-side script.
