Monkuar Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 ok i have a lottery system very nice one choose 36 balls/etc 3 numbers must be exaxt, odds of winning is like 1:45920 lol prob is for the lottery to countdown and select the lottery, somone needs to be at the site to refresh the "DELETE FROM" query/etc/etc how would I go about making it so after the time is run down, what if no1 is viewing the lottery page? then the new lottery wont run, i need something refresh that page every other 1hour, cron job?

Pikachu2000 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Can't you just have the script check for the last update time when it runs, and if it's been more than whatever your max time is, run the refresh routine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine7ySix Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 My understanding is that you want to run a Query without anyone being at the site and at certain intervals. You could cron to do this. What is basically can do for you is at certain intervals, it will run PHP functions automatically. I don't know your exact code but if your server is managed with cPanel, I think cron is possible.

I'm not very familiar with Linux, but this article looks helpful. http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/56 Just know that .php files can be run with cron as well.

If nobody views the page for 8 hours, then why does it matter whether the numbers are generated every hour, or eight sets are generated at once?
