How Can I Automate PHP Tasks?
I am currently running the same task multiple times a day and I'm sure there is a way to automate it. It is a simple one, but with limited PHP knowledge I'm not sure of the best way to do this. Here's what I need to do 1) log-in to a 3rd party site 2) Download the CSV 3) Upload to my db

Cron Tasks
I'm building an auction site which needs scripts automatically launched to scan the closing auctions. I'll use Linux's crontab. I'd prefer to avoid installing Php as a cgi and prefer to keep my apache module config. I'd also prefer to avoid the use of a browser as lynx to do this job because I fear the time-out How I can launch my scripts?

Background Tasks
I'm using some weather rss feeds in a web site. The feeds are updated once every hour and cached in a local file. My problem is that every time the weather report is updating I get a long wait (not that long.. 2 or 3 secs) before the page is displayed. This happens becauses the teplate engine that parses the page is waiting for the weather section to be parsed and cached. Is there a ay I can start the weather parsing as a background thread and return immediatly to the template engine to continue to parse the page? And if so How?

Automated Tasks
I have an auction site running. Now I want the auction to be able to automatically send a mail msg to the seller after it expires. How do I do it? Obviously there is some sort of way that I can employ so that this task does not require an operator (such as me) to run manually. This task will involve accessing the database and sending an email. Can somebody enlighten me on this?

Using PHP For Nightly Backend Tasks?
I have to develop a script to be run nightly to go through a database and send emails based on conditions. It's a large database, and there are several thousands of emails to be sent during the week everyday. The script will be run with a cron job at midnight or so. I was wondering if PHP is suitable for this, or may it be problematic, for instance would its execution abort after a certain amount of time? Or is it perfectly fine for this task?

PHP/mySQL Running Tasks Automatically?
I have a MySQL DB with all my client details (name, email address etc). I want to use PHP to retrieve records from the DB and email each of these clients (easy enough) BUT I want the system to automatically do this at pre-defined times. I have thought about using the UNIX/Linux CRON utility to perhaps call a PHP script that would retrieve specific records (based on a timestamp perhaps?) and then have it email based upon those records. Does this sound feasible? Are there better ways to do this?

Cron Jobs / Tabs / Tasks And More
I'm building a site with a mySQL db behind it. There are going to be a lot of records in it with products. Now i have recently discovered cron jobs, and i thought it would be a good idea to use those to backup the database. i have a few questions: - If i back up the database, does it put the backup in an actual different db, or just in the same db but other tables? (Silly question maybe, but i'm new to this) - Can the DB still be queried bij site-visitors though it's being backed up? - Is it possible to just backup new/updated records instead of the entire db? - Imagine i backup once a month. can the cron job notice if the DB is dameged/ has errors, so it'll stop backing up so it doesn't overwrite the previous backup... or doesn't backup delete the previous backup?

Executing PHP Tasks While Letting A User Continue To Browse?
I was wondering if someone could help me out with the following two situations. In a lot of my web apps, it seems that if i launch a PHP script that takes a long time to complete, the user is unable to browse/use the rest of the website until the tasks completes. Is there a way to avoid this? Specifically, app #1 let's a user choose which files to include in a zip file, then PHP makes the .zip file on the server and streams it to the user via fopen/fread. So, as the user is downloading a file on the side (it presents them with the open/save dialog) they are unable to browse the rest of the PHP-based site until the download completes; clicking on any links to pages does nothing, the browser just sits there until the file has been downloaded, THEN the screen advances. I am experiencing a similar thing with a PHP mail delivery system. I tried to create a work-around: a pop-up window that sends an 'exec' command to the a php-script that sends the email to a few hundred recipients. Again, even though this action is being done in a pop-up window (and via the command line, no less), the user is paralyzed in the main window until the action completes.

Sending Mails Without Using Scheduled Tasks (crone Jobs)
Can we set up a mail program that the mail can sent frequently..ie may be daily or weekly or monthly... with out using scheduled tasks or crone jobs. for eg .. can we create a page that works like the scheduled tasks page( there we can set up the time at which time the program will execute )..that means we have options in our webpage to set up the time at which the mail will sent. for eg..every monday.. can we set up this in the program without using scheduled tasks or crone jobs. can we run our page frequently without using crone jobs .

CLI And Windows
The portion of the PHP manual entitled "Using PHP from the command line" states that "The CGI SAPI supports the CLI SAPI behaviour by means of the -C switch when run from the command line.": http://us2.php.net/features.commandline However, "php -h" says of the -C switch, "Do not chdir to the script's directory". Further, running php -Cr "echo 'test'" results in an error saying that the -r switch doesn't exist, even though it should if it were acting like the CLI version. This, coupled with the fact that the Windows installer doesn't seem to install a seperate CLI exe means that, unless I'm missing something, CLI isn't something that can be used on Windows, contrary to what the docs say.

Pop-up Windows
I have a form coded as: <form action="test.php" method="post"> the form has two buttons: Preview and Submit if ($Preview) {// perform action 1} else {// perform action2} My question: If Preview is clicked, I would like to open a new pop-up window without closing the original one. I would like the results of action 1 to be displayed on this new pop-up window. Is there a way to do that without using javascript? If no, then how would you do that with javascript? i cannot use target=_blank in the form tag because i would like to have the pop-up window only if Preview is selected. But maybe there is a better way to code everything!
