What is the end result/output of what you're going after? If you give us some details on what it's going to be doing after the processing happens, maybe we can help you come up with a different/better solution. If you're able to do an AJAX solution, you've obviously got an "always on" connection. My suggestion to you is to set up a scheduled task on the computer that would be running the AJAX and have it refresh the page with the PHP script. Again, I'm sort of grasping at straws without real details about what the project will be doing in the end. For instance, I'm EXTRMELY curious about what the project is doing that you can't have a constant schedule. -- Joe From: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of kranthi Sent: Monday, October 06, 2008 11:09 PM To: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: call another PHP script from a PHP script yeh i agree with you... had the time interval been constant i would hav requested the server admin to setup the cron jobs for me. since it is variable i want to know if it is possible to change the cron jobs from a PHP script.. and regarding the refreshing the page manually... i m thinking of that via AJAX. since javascript has got more time handling functions than PHP...
