Triggering PHP routines 1

[jonUK]

Hi,

This is a rather general question ...

clearly, when a php script runs on a server it needs some sort of trigger, usually the http instruction sent from the client e.g.

http://www.mysite/parking/user.php?id=68

what I want to know is if it's possible to trigger a routine in such a way as to make the routine run as an automated task.

For example, is it possible to make a routine run at 1.00 am each day, to mail all my customers.

Thanks for any insights.

Hi,
you could install a command line browser, like lynx or links.
Or something like `wget'(a "downloader"), for example you could call :
wget '

http://www.mysite/parking/user.php?id=68'

All you have to do is to put this command in cron (on UNices/Linux) or in Scheduled Tasks (on Windows* >=NT).


HTH
