Can we configure cron job’s time interval through PHP script, so that the time interval should not be set manually, but through a PHP script, whether it takes time interval from Database or fixed (but from within the PHP code).
Thanks in advance
I think it is much better to let your application control the frequency of events instead of the cronjob. Let the cronjob run a certain action of your application every minute. The action then for example checks a database table named cronjobs and runs the jobs marked for running by either a frequency number or a timestamp.
If you do it like this, you can add new jobs programmatically from everywhere, e.g. via an cronjob interface. The solution is easier to maintain, to test and to document.
