how to use php to schedule a task under codeigniter |
I am looking for some time to write a php script (cron) that allows to periodically run another script but I do not know how to do it! I'm asking for your help. Thank you
A true cron is something that runs at the server OS level. There are various ways to schedule them using browser tools like CPanel, and it's worth mentioning that CMSs like Wordpress and Drupal have "poor man's cron" tools that kick off scripts triggered by a user request.
The cron can call a file/script anywhere on your server and execute it with PHP... or it can trigger a full URL like a CodeIgniter path. There's a good tutorial here: https://linux4one.com/how-to-set-cron-jo...ntu-18-04/ Designer, developer and Diet Dr. Pepper addict. Messing up PHP since <?= $when['year';] ?>
For a cron job you can call your CI script from the command line: https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/cli.html
