    <p>I am working on a project where I need to run 12 different PHP files, every night. 11 of these files are pulling data, each from a different external site and reformatting it into an XML file, for my purposes. The 12th file, combines the 11 XML files into a master XML file.</p> <p>I had originally had these combined into a single PHP file but, it was far too much and kept timing out. They work fine, separated as they are.</p> <p>I'm on a GoDaddy shared hosting plan and started setting up cron jobs to run these files every night. However, GoDaddy limits you to 10 cron jobs total. </p> <p>So, as an alternative, I placed a header redirect at the bottom of the first 10 files (obviously the last file doesn't need a redirect), to redirect to the next one and run it. This consolidates 11 cron jobs down to 1.</p> <pre><code>// On to the next header('Location: http://www.domain.com/secondFile.php'); </code></pre> <p>I did not realize, at the time, that header redirects only work in the browser, not in cron jobs. I'm getting a <strong>302 Moved Temporarily</strong> message.</p> <p>What other options do I have here? Are there redirects that <strong>will</strong> work in cron jobs?</p> <p>Any info provided is appreciated.</p> <hr> <hr> <p>Thanks to <strong>Barmar</strong>'s help, I've got it working now. Posting the format here for anyone else having the same issue, on GoDaddy hosting.</p> <p><strong>generatexml.sh</strong></p> <pre><code>#!/bin/sh /web/cgi-bin/php5 /home/content/u/s/e/username/html/firstFile.php /web/cgi-bin/php5 /home/content/u/s/e/username/html/secondFile.php /web/cgi-bin/php5 /home/content/u/s/e/username/html/thirdFile.php </code></pre> <p>etc.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
