Scheduled Scripts
Can anyone tell me if there is a way of having a PHP script run at a scheduled time each day? Our ISP's server is running under Linux and I was hoping to use something called CRON. However my ISP has told me this is not possible, and I will need to write the script in PERL.

Using Scheduled Task
I have a php code which when executed fwrites the contents into a file. That works fine. But when I use the windows task scheduler to execute it, windows a return of (0) which means no errors but the file doesn't seem to be executed. The thing is that prior to me adding the functionality in the PHP code to produce output to a file, using scheduler to run the file was fine.

Scheduled Task
setting up a task to run nightly? The problem at hand is, company A stores data on company B's server. Then nightly, company B creates an XML feed for them to take the updates and put them in there own database server (that I am going to set up). The website never sends updates back, the only updates from company A are from inside there office system. So, what I have to do is take this XML feed and put it in my own server. It could be a fairly large number of records (500 maybe) - So I'm not sure how fast it could realistically be parsed through and then added to the database. How do I go about this without checking each time a user visits the website? It needs to be automatic too, rather than somebody going to the specific page each night and clicking 'go'.

Automatic Scheduled E-mails
I have a website that I am building in PHP that I would like to send e-mails to users every 2 days to inform of new updates. I know how to trigger the sending of e-mails if a user enters the site, and can limit this to only happening once every 2 days, but I am interested to know if it is possible to have PHP send e-mails automatically in case no one visits the site?

OT (possibly): Scheduled Actions
I've got a dedicated server running Windows 2003, IIS, MySQL and PHP. I'm working on a web site which needs to pick data up on a semi-regular basis from a CSV file which will exist in a directory accessible to this server. The data will be put there by another server. I need to pick up this data and insert it into a MySQL table; I have three options in theory - do it on a strict schedule, do it on request by an admin user (the easy option), or have it happen automatically if a file drops into that directory. Can PHP do this, or do I need to look at something else to do this for me? I can install/setup anything I like on this server, within reason.

Scheduled AT Job Reports 'The Account Is Currently Not Available'
I am scheduling an AT task from a php file using sudo and user 'joe' that reports correctly when using atq from the command line. However, although the script being executed by the job runs ok from the command line I get a mail message saying 'The account is currently not available' when the job is scheduled by php? It's not an 'apache' user problem as far as I can see as the task is getting scheduled as 'joe'.

Running A Scheduled Task
I would like to run a simple php file that backs up my database. The file is in one of the virtual directories.

Scheduled FTP & Database Export
We currently have an online dedicated server where users can apply for jobs and attach their resumes, we have also setup a similar environment on our local machine for a system which we use to extract the applicants information and match it to the jobs we have. Everyday we get an average of about 150-200 job applications which translates to the same number of resumes. I need to be able to automate the process by which the resumes are downloaded everyday and stored on the local server and also schedule a database backup which should in essence export the database a set of sql statements which I can then run. The dedicated server has a PLESK interface which gives me access to the Cron Jobs interface, I just don't know how to proceed.

[Q] Automatic (i.e., Scheduled) Access To Another Web Page
I need to be able update my web site with info from a remote web site. At this other web site, the info I require is updated every 30 minutes, 24 hours per day. Life would be cool if a way existed by which I could "schedule" my code to run periodically so that my info could remain [reasonably] synchronized with the info on this other site. In the PHP docs / books I have I've been unable to find functions / services / examples that might permit me to implement this functionality. Do [php] services/classes exist that would meet this need? Do I need to invoke the services of my WEB server (apache on both ends)?

Strange Characters When Script Run By Scheduled Task
I've written a script that is run on a Windows server which gets headlines from a remote webpage, and I'm using a scheduled task to run it on a regular basis. The problem is that swedish characters (åäö) gets replaced with other characters.Example: Quote: Boverket sõger ja till ICA Maxi. v- och mp-r÷ster hotar budgetf÷rslaget. When I run the script from the web through my browser, it works fine. This only happens when I run it with a sheduled task.

Web Calendar Group/individual View Events?
There seem to be a lot of web calendars out there and I am having a tough time sorting out which ones to even try - a lot of the more popular ones were created 2 or 3 years ago. Can anyone recommend a good one that uses php and mysql preferably? One of the main uses would be for family to indicate their holidays so all in the family can see. Thus, it would require a group/public feature that allows users to see all "public" holidays or just their own holidays.
