codeigniter Creating cronjob in codeigniter on linux hosting server Cronjob in Codeigniter
Example
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Cron extends CI_Controller
{
/**
* This is default constructor of the class
*/
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library('input');
$this->load->model('cron_model');
}
/**
* This function is used to update the age of users automatically
* This function is called by cron job once in a day at midnight 00:00
*/
public function updateAge()
{
// is_cli_request() is provided by default input library of codeigniter
if($this->input->is_cli_request())
{
$this->cron_model->updateAge();
}
else
{
echo "You dont have access";
}
}
}
?>
Call this from your cpanel/cron manager as follows (I added more ways to call it):
0 0 0 0 0 php-cli /home/your_site_user/public_html/index.php cron updateAge
OR
0 0 0 0 0 wget http://your_site_url/cron/updateAge
OR
0 0 0 0 0 /usr/bin/php /home/your_site_user/public_html/index.php cron updateAge
In my case: wget thing is working on plesk and cpanel (wget creating files on server in your root directory). php-cli works on plesk and cpanel both.
