How do you run a http:// operation in index.php multiple times in the background...

Hi,
In my index.php file I need to run an operation/ open a url i.e http://xxxx.com/xxxxx several times but I want it to run in the background and not display anything or open a browser if possible - just carry out the operation in the background as my computer crashes if I repeat it too many times?

Also how can I edit the index.php directly from my webpage without having to go into cpanel to edit the url?

I would very much appreciate your help as my computer keeps crashing.

Many thanks,
Blackcastle

 

if it's a linux hosting then you can do

you can try this:

`php some_script.php & 2>&1 > /dev/null`;

Code (markup):

including the back ticks

 

If you want the page to load and call the other page asynchronously then you could do so via AJAX.
