How can I make my PHP script run at a certain time everyday? [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you have your own server you can run a cronjob(unix/linux) or a scheduled task(windows).

If your app/site is hosted on a shared host that does not offer cronjobs you an use a sevice like http://www.onlinecronjobs.com/

I have not tested this one but If you google a bit(fee conjobs) you will find plenty of those. They will call a certain a url accoding to a fixed schedule. Most of those sevices have a fixed set of ip addeses so you can pevent the scipt from being called by anyone else.

Answer 2

May it will helps you.

You can schedule a task in Windows - control panel->administrative tools is where you find task scheduler.

run a php automatically after every hour

Thanks

Answer 3

CronJobs feature are often disabled on most free or cheap Linux hosting. If you could use cron you could use that.

Alternatives:

• Use services like : http://www.setcronjob.com/ (many exist, just search on google) , to schedule your task for free(1x per hour).
• If you need a little bit more juice you should look into google app engine cron. In the cron you just do a simple asynchronous request to call your page.

Answer 4

If you are a linux/unix user, i recommend you use CRON .

Answer 5

If you are using cPanel on your host, you can go to Advanced --> cron jobs. Then inside there you can set a cron job command like this:

wget http://yoursite.com/yourfile.php

which http://yoursite.com/yourfile.php should point to your desired function. You can also set repetition time interval over there.

This way yourfile.php is called in specified intervals.
