Hi Jean, If i am not wrong cpanel has the functionality to set a cronjob / cron / crontab , pl search the manual of cpanel, it has this facility definately(unless disabled). PHP cannot start one of its script automatically unless you install a php application as a daemon . Pl. get back in case of any doubt. -- Regards, Abhishek jain ----- Original Message ---- From: Jean Carlo <jsalas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 9:42:37 PM Subject: RE: fire a script automatic Then it's no way that just php do this?
