is it possible to run cron jobs directly from php file without hosting control panel ?

 

This will probably work fine:

$cmd = 'the-cron-command';
if(! system($cmd))
echo 'An error has occurred with the cron job.';

PHP:

 

If you've got SSH access, you can set up a cron job through the command line. Is that what you mean?

 

You can use www.setcronjob.com to call PHP script's URL. It's simple, fast, and easy to set up your cron.
