how to run my function using cron or anything else

What happens if you call it from the cli directly?

will they let me use cli on shared hosting?

I'm not sure about your host but having no cli is like having a tv without remote, sure it works but it there are better options out there!

In shared servers I use a copy of index.php, named index_cron.php:

Code:

// php-binary -d register_argc_argv=on $HOME/directory/index_cron.php controller action

if(!isset($argv)&&!count($argv)){
    exit();
}
//...

// The controller class file name.  Example:  Mycontroller
  $routing['controller'] = $argv[1];

// The controller function you wish to be called.
$routing['function'] = $argv[2];

//...

You need to copy the original index.php ci front controller file, and add/edit those lines.

If you do not want to receive emails, use this:

Code:

php-binary -d register_argc_argv=on $HOME/directory/index_cron.php controller action > /dev/null 2>&1
