Is it possible to schedule a single php function to run at a specific time in the future using the Unix 'at' command? If so how would this be done?
Also is this the best way to handle scheduling a single function to run at a later date?
解决方案
Sure, you can use at
or cron
, and pass the -R
flag to PHP to execute the command line:
# Run phpinfo() at 12:30...
echo php -R 'phpinfo();' | at 12:30
Or it is perhaps better to call a file which may contain multiple commands
echo 'php /path/to/yourfile.php' | at 12:30

if you want to run it from php script try using exec() function
To do that a PHP script would need to be persistent inside the PHP interpreter for some long interval of time.
The best you could do would be to use something like exec
to create the unix command you's use and then call the php
command line version to make it work. Look at Scheduling php scripts for more information.
