How to create cron job using PHP?

up vote18d own vote 10

I'm new to using cron job. I don't even how to write it. I have tried to search from internet, but i still don't understand it well. I want to create a cron job that will execute my code every minute. I'm using PHP to create it. It is not working. Example run.php (Code that will be executed every minute)

cron.php

Suppose that these two files are in the same folder. Is the code that I did wrong? If wrong, please kindly tell me how to fix it. Thanks in advance. php

cron

do you have shell access on the server? – Dagon Sep 11 '13 at 9:31

3 You can't just echo out *** and expect a cronjob to be created. Read up here how to create cronjobs (assuming y on a server running linux) thesitewizard.com/general/set-cron-job.shtml – tlenss Sep 11 '13 at 9:31 @Dagon: i don't know about this. I'll check it out. – user2738520 Sep 11 '13 at 9:40 It is a one off event so use crontab – Ed Heal Jan 26 '14 at 16:49 add a comment

In the same way you are trying to run cron.php, you can run another PHP script. You will have to do so via the CLI interface though. #!/usr/bin/env php
