Depends on what system you are running, let us know and we can better 
answer the question.

Re: [PHP] automatic job execution

On second thought, do you just want the script to run and sleep or 
actually schedule it as a job?  You could just use sleep().

set_time_out(0);

while ($i = 0){
your code

sleep(60);
}

We use this at my company for a file parsing program, it runs, sleeps 15
minutes and repeats.

I looked at some old posts and I found #!/usr/local/bin/php -q should be
included at the top of the script but I don't think I have permission on the
system I'm on.

Re: [PHP] automatic job execution

2002-07-25 Thread Scott

In order to run the script from the command line you need the cgi or 
executable version of PHP.  You can have both on the machine, Apache uses 
mod_php and you use the cgi version for your scripts on the machine.

RE: [PHP] automatic job execution

You can do that or just run the command:
/usr/local/bin/php -q name_of_script.php

If you want to call the script directly by name instead of calling php 
like that you will need to make to executable and add the # line at the 
top.
