Recurring event in PHP


Hi there I'd like to make a recurring event based on calendar basis. The thing I want to ask is this: How to trigger the event? If the client doesn't login or open the webapp to trigger the event in the constructor, how do I make the code to run anyways.

I know cron jobs maybe the solution, but is there any other solution?(I want to avoid cron jobs).


Solution

  • If that job should be triggered to keep the server in a good state, it should be run using a cron job, if its a database management, the database manager have the event's table to make cron jobs, if it's needed for only for the user, it can be a workload safe if you just don't do it until user login. You can manually login to trigger the event too, to an admin page maybe.
