I thought I had asked this before but got no answers and now cant find it in my history.
I want my databases to update in a specific way at 12:01 am daily. The PHP to update the databases the way I want was easy. But I want them to update automatically without me being on the page and that is the problem.
My understanding is something has to happen for PHP to kick in. ie. page load / HTTP POST, etc.
So I tried JavaScript with a time variable and if statement. Which also only seems to be enabled if you actually have the page loaded. So what kind of language and script would I need to execute a PHP script at a set time daily?
I know it is possible, I just dont know the answer.
