From: Vinay Kannan on 23 Sep 2009 06:46 Hi, I am developing a web application in PHP, the db is mysql. I want to develop something like a batch file, which would run everyday, query mysql and throw the output to another table which would then perform some additional functions. Is something like this possible?? i am working on windows thats why said a batch,but not rigid about the batch, it cud even be Java. Thanks, Vinay

From: Samar Hedaoo on 23 Sep 2009 07:22 If you had been using linux, I would have suggested *cron* for job scheduling. On Windows, there should be something like Task Scheduler for the same. You can write the code for database query and dumping in PHP and then have a batch file containing "php yourfile.php" scheduled to run using the above. hope that helps. regards, samar On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 4:16 PM, Vinay Kannan <vinykan(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am developing a web application in PHP, the db is mysql. > > I want to develop something like a batch file, which would run everyday, > query mysql and throw the output to another table which would then perform > some additional functions. > > Is something like this possible?? i am working on windows thats why said a > batch,but not rigid about the batch, it cud even be Java. > > > Thanks, > Vinay >

Not only possible but very simple. Just write the php as normal and use Windows' Scheduler to run it with something like: C:\php\php.exe C:\path\to\script.php I have several scripts like this scheduled to do basic maintenance work or carry out automated tasks. > Thanks, > Vinay -- Niel Archer niel.archer (at) blueyonder.co.uk |
