I am doing a project in which i have to do some updations over database every hour .
So what should i use for this ..
Should i simply use php as updations will be done only at server side .
Or any other suggestion that will be better than my approach ?
Please help !!
If you need something that is done each hour, you need a scheduler. Look at the MySQL EVENT, the linux cron or the windows scheduler.
Some webhosts do not offer access to these facilities. You can then try to workaround by having a php page check when the job was last run, and run it again if needed. Offcourse this only works if your site has visitors – no visitors = the page does not get executed.
Drupal and other CMS have this php-cron-simulator in their code.
