How to make a php script run every 5 min on the server??

I know something like this can be done...user cleanup scripts that run monthly for example.

How can I make a certain script run every 5 min on the server? I know it has something to do with global apps, just not sure.

Anyone?

 

you will need to run cron from cpanel of hosting

Thanks a lot kmap, but I run a Windows server (forgot to mention that!).

However I have figured it out. This command runs a php script (assuming you're in the php bin folder):

php -f filename.php

This command can then be saved as a .bat file. Then a Scheduled Task can be made to run the program every so often.

Thanks a lot DP!

 

yes excellent and this is best way to do it on windows server

I did not know that you have windows server and i thought most of people use cpanel hosting so i replied accordingly
