Automated batch processing with PHP

Post by josefv »

Is it possible with PHP to write a script that calls a PHP function (i.e. for batch processing) each day at a specific time, automatically.

Let's says for example I want to create a PHP script that runs automatically on my http-server, each morning at 2am, to perform archiving and generate automatic audit reports to be delivered to an email address each day.

Thanks in advance! :D
