Performing some operations at specified time interval

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 24.2009

I want to make a PHP script that will do something at constant time intervals. For example, at 2:00 PM, it performs such and such tasks; then at 2:10 PM, it does those things again, then again at 2:20 PM, and so on. How do I go about making this thing. What PHP functions do I need to know of?

Thanks!

@stephan_gerlachAug 25.2009 — There is no special php function for that. This is done via the operating system. In Linux it is called "cron job" and on windows it is called "scheduled tasks".

Ask your hosting provider about details how to do this.

Success!
