PHP My Admin Quesiton Automatic php Launch

[meadtj]

I am using PHPMyAdmin (http://www.phpmyadmin.net) and I am trying to modify some order addon files. I would like to create an add-on that automatically sends my customers orders directly to my supplier. From what I understand I need to set PHPMyAdmin to automatically launch the php each day at a paticular time. Anyone know how I set php my admin to do this?

I think what you are looking for is a cron job which starts at a specific time or times each day.

 

Another contribution is Job Scheduler.

 

THe format and contents of the file to send is another matter.

Thanks, I thought about making this, i'm not surprised there was already something for this. The only problem with that script though is that if you have a slow period, your php file may not launch because this is traffic oriented.

 

I read about cron job. I think this is something you do in phpmyadmin, but i'm not sure how

[♥geoffreywalton]

No, cron jobs have nothing to do with phpmyadmin.

 

They can run scripts that do all sorts of things.

 

Try searching for other contributions that might do something closer to yuor requirements.
