Hello together...

hope someone can help me:-)

I want to to run a php file every ten seconds on serverside,
how can I do this?

CronJobs are not really working; Server = Apache, PHP 4 or 5.

Greetings & Thanks

Why do you need a script to run every 10 seconds? There has to be a more efficient way to do whatever it is you are trying to do.

Cron jobs are your easiest solution.
Another method would be making 2 PHP scripts to bounce off of each other.

File 1: Run the target script wait 10 seconds and call File 2.

File 2: Run target scritpt wait 10 seconds call File 1.

It would be advisable to make a script take in a $_GET value to 'exit' the scripts.

So once you go to file 1: in your browser, it will create a continuous loop which will bounce form one file to the next. Until you type in this exit command.

Hi...

thanks for your responses. Well, I need it because I must update
database entries and perform new calculations every ten seconds.

Seems a good idea, but note the call must be don on the server.
I'll try it:-) As I know, CronJob's can't be executed regulary each
ten second or may be my Information false?

Or you can simply ad
[PHP]header('refresh:10; url=same_page.php');[/PHP]

Hi...

Thanks, good idea, can I use a timevalue, like refresh 12:00:xx ?

Greetings

Once this is setup and we go to the script URL.
this header() function will active.

Will i run in a continuous loop forever? or only if the script is being viewed by a user.

Secondly, if this is running in a continuous loop.
how can we stop the execution ?

Drag...

Ir runs only when viewed by a user and will run in continuous loop until the user closes the browser.

Of course, you can setup a $_GET variable to count the loops and stop at some point
As far as I know, in header(refresh...) you can only specify the number of seconds the script has to wait untill refresh, not a certain hour.

Thanks

You're welcome
