I am grabbing live auction data from a feed, then saving them in an array and also downloading them as an excel file (i need them both). Now, for another part of my project, I need to do this (collect the data from feed and download it as exc file) every morning at 9 am.
How can I achieve this? Honestly, I am new to this...so you might have to explain your solution little bit more thoroughly to me, sorry! And thank you all for your time and help!!
分享 I would recommend you to make use of cron jobs if you are using a Unix server or Windows Task Scheduler in the case of windows.
Like this you will be able to use programmed tasks.
For windows here's a tutorial apported by @Chris Cooney: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-automate-windows-programs-on-a-schedule/
In the case of using cron you could do it easily like this:
00 09 * * php -f your_relative_or_full_path_URL/params > /dev/null
9 in the morning every day for the previous example.
