So I realize this question is broad, as I’m looking for a place to start.
Is it possible to have a server that for example runs PHP scripts every day, or every 2 minutes?
Pretty much, I don’t want to put these tasks in the users script, because I’m scared they would get run a lot more than is necessary, and I’d prefer to keep it separate.
I’m looking to keep it javascript, PHP or SQL as I don’t have the time to learn a new language atm, so if any of you have any good places for me to read up on this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Javascript will not run server side as you are expecting. what I would suggest is you look into writing a cron job to run a bash file. It would take minimal research to complete.
