    <p>I am looking for a way to set cron job using PHP. All I would like to do is run a PHP script at a specific time. The user first inputs a time in a script, according to the time specified the server will run the script. I am using windows 7 and xampp.</p> <p>What I have found is: </p> <ol> <li><p>Create a php file that calls the cron.php file: Using notepad (or whatever), paste the following into a new file: $data = file(“http://pearl.supplychain.com/cron.php”); you’ll need to put it inside the regular php tags, with the “less than sign” ? php at the front, and the ? “greater than sign” at the end. (I can’t seem to just type that because it is “suspicious content” and drupal doesn’t allow it) Save it as executecron.php, into the same directory as cron.php (htdocs).</p></li> <li><p>Set up a scheduled task that calls this regularly:</p> <ol> <li>Open Start–All Programs–Accessories–System tools–Scheduled tasks.</li> <li>Double-click on scheduled tasks.</li> <li><p>Set up a Daily task that starts at 12:00 am and runs every half hour (or whatever) until 11:59 pm. Tell the task to “run” the following:</p> <pre><code>C:\cms\xampp\php\php.exe c:\cms\xampp\htdocs\executecron.php </code></pre> <p>(On this system, php.exe is installed in C:\cms\xampp\php, but you’ll probably have to change the path).</p></li> </ol></li> </ol> <p>As you can see, to do this, one must <code>Open Start–All Programs–Accessories–System tools–Scheduled tasks.</code></p> <p>Can it specific by php code or using another way to do this? Because i want all the work done on php / server instead of need my user config the cron job themselves. Which means i want my php code can set the cron in server and server will look at the cron?</p> <p><strong>To stefgosselin:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>To create the batch file</p> <pre><code>Open Notepad. Paste the line "C:\xampp\php\php.exe C:\wamp\www\index.php" Click "File" -&gt; "Save As" Ensure "Save as type:" is set to "All Files" Save the file as "cron.bat" to your C drive </code></pre> <p>To schedule the batch file to run</p> <pre><code>Open Command Prompt Paste the following "schtasks /create /sc minute /mo 20 /tn "PHP Cron Job" /tr C:\cron.bat" Press Enter This will make the script run every 20 minutes, the first time 20 minutes from now. </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>I am able to create a bath file using php, however, are there any way to <code>Paste the following "schtasks /create /sc minute /mo 20 /tn "PHP Cron Job" /tr C:\cron.bat</code> using php instead of using os? Thank you </p> <p>Thank you </p>

    1. COthanks for editing, what i simply want, use php to set time, use php to adjust the server, the server will run cron jobs,as i can see in many host webpage, they also only provide a php for user to input time, i think they won't add the cron job manually? Thanks

    2. COuhh, depends on where youre hosting but usually the easiest way for me is to shell in and set up the cron with a wget command. or if you have a cron tab where youre hosting do that.

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.
