CRON job for codeigniter

问题:

I am using codeigniter. I want to know how to set up a cron job to check a table for expiring users and insert data in to another table with the list of expiring users. How to do that.

When i tried to write a script with controller and model to insert the table:

Fatal error: Class 'Controller' not found in /home/content/html/test/live/application/controllers/cron.php on line 2

You can find some more information on making CodeIgniter CLI-accessible here: http://phpstarter.net/2008/12/run-codeigniter-from-the-command-line-ssh/

Next step is just using crontab -e to set up the cronjob.

This might not be what you're looking for, but it works just fine for me:

Create your CRON job logic as a 'normal' controller function.

Then, in your standard, non-CI, PHP cronjob file just load the URL via

file_get_contents('http:example.com/cronjob/');

This will treat the URL as being hit just as by any other user and the entire CI framework will be at your disposal.

If you are looking on how to create cron job, then have a look at this:

But if you mean how to put expired users into another table, then you should show your table structure.

My hosting site is godaddy which give the option to create a cron. All we need to do is write a plainphp page to do the job, with sql connection and all stuff and just upload to the godaddy server and create the cron. Thats it. Job is easier.
