Re: [PHP-DB] background process
has anyone here created an application using background processes? what i have in mind is to be able to run the background process once a day to check for files that are more than 5 days old and delete them. thanks in advance. ric, PHP (and scripts) can be executed from the command line (given that it has been appropriately set up on your m/c). This is discussed in the docs. Thereafter it becomes a matter of setting up a 'trigger' to kick-off execution at set times using CRON (*nix) or AT (Windows?32-bit). =dn -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
