 |
|
How would I go about running a PHP script as a scheduled task under Windows XP Home. Also, how would I make it so that it ran hourly?
Sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't find anything when I ran a search.

For the game I had on my server before it killed itself I user a program called 'Kirby alarm' which a friend found for me to run a batch file which executed the ticker script.

Errr..
Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Schudeled Tasks.
I believe the command line would be something like this:
| Code: | | c:\php\php.exe /path/to/your/script/script.php |
Prehaps put it in a batch file?
There is a command line way to add it to Schudeled Tasks but I don't know it off the top of my head.

A scheduled task can only be run once a day, the game had 30 minute ticks, so I had to look elsewhere. Windows could do on improving that.

Have a look on the command at. It is available with Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 and have more options that the scheduled tasks tool.
