I don´t know if there is such a thing, but windows have "task scheduler" it´s the same as adding a cron job.
You can find task scheduler in your windows control panel.

Yeah Im running Windows 2003 Server, So if I wanted to add a spider script for a search engine, I would just schedule the system using the "Sheduled task" app to run the php script???

Would that be correct?

Thanks guys

I never used the task scheduler to execute a php file, but yeah I guess you could just make a batch file with the information you wanted, and add that to the tast scheduler.
the batch would probly look something like this
Code: Select all
@c:\xampp\php\php.exe -f script.php

Not sure if you need the -f argument but look it up.

This is just how i would do it, there could be a better or easyer way...!
