Process a big php script

[eluser]jgodino[/eluser]
Hello:

I need to run a big php script in batch mode.
Is there a library or something to do this?

Thanks

Javier

Do you mean you need to get CI to run another PHP file, or do you need to get your CI script run as a batch file from cron?

What do you mean by "big"? i.e. Will it take a very long time to run, or use up a lot of memory?

If you are on Linux you could use cron to process the PHP script at regular intervals. Windows has similar scheduling capabilities.

EDIT: I really need to refresh the page before I post to make sure someone has not already answered the question!

Yes, I need to run a CI script as a batch file from cron.
I need to create a PDF file from 200 records.

Search around the forums for CI from CRON.
I've seen a few, and there is an extension in the Wiki somewhere that allows you to run a CI script from cron.
