Kasabian Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 my host only lets me run crons at the minimum time of a once hour is there a way to say run a query once every 5 Min's in a loop and put that inside my hour cron or can someone suggest an alternative other than .... Look up the time function or read a manual if you were going put that and not expand on it, i would rather you didn't post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haunted Dawg Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Re: cron I believe there is a site to run crons on, google it. Or just change hosts, www.byethost.com is very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydian Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Re: cron There isn't really anything you can reliably do to replace a cron daemon with something else if you're not willing to "looking the time function" errr, umm, I would have said you should use timestamps... You could have windows schedualer setup to activate your browser which then loads a script on your site at specified intervals, but it's a pain, and very unreliable.... I think you should RTFM lol (I jest of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasabian Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Re: cron willing to "looking the time function" errr, umm, I would have said you should use timestamps... I'm willing to look but can someone push me in the direction e.g. examples because looking in the Manual i cant get much out of it from timestamp other than showing the time.

Spudinski Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Re: cron Simple math. <?php if (($last + $interval) >= time()) { // execute some script(s) } ?>/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
