Cron for php file?

[subog]

I know we can do cron job for cgi written in perl.

I wonder we could do the same in .php? Is the command still the same?

Yes, PHP scripts can be run from the command line which means they can also be made into a cron job.

many (Most?) hosts won't allow php scripts to run as cgi from a cron job - i have had to rewrite these cronjobs in perl for these hosts.

I could not do php cronjobs on my 3 servers.

i guess this also depends if you use the cgi version (with which i was able to start php with cron) or the apache module. i don't know if you can call when installed as a module. does anybody know that?

Just run this command:
wget -q "http://www.theodomainforthephp.com/includingfullurk.php?and=anythingextra"

run that whenever you wish to run the PHP script http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Thank alot guys!

So
wget -q "http://www.theodomainforthephp.com/includingfullurk.php?and=anythingextra"
will work both cgi version and module on apache? What if the webserver is not running apache (exclude IIS)?

Just install the PHP command to run php scripts from command line!
find infos on www.php.net (http://www.php.net) I guess
