Windows Web Hosting Services
How can I run a php script on a remotely hosted server?
My hosting offers one cron / scheduled task every 15 minutes but I require 3 once a minute. Online services work out expensive so I presently use a web browser refreshing it’s pages every 1 one. Is there not a better method using, for example, Windows Task Manager.
Thanks “I’m a Liberal” but the file is uploaded. I just need a better way to run (cron) the script.
If you’re using a server on a hosting and domain service like GoDaddy and you know that this server supports PHP, then just FTP up the files and type in the url.
Example:
If you had a site for testing called “domain” and you wanted to run your script on this domain which has hosting that supports PHP, then you would ftp up a file. We’ll call this file index.php. The url for this would be as follows:
http://domain.com/index.php
That’s going to be the url containing your php script.
