I am new with Zend Framework and I couldn't find an answer anywhere so I would like to ask you.

I have an application ready, all is working well in browser but I would like to run once a day one .php file which will be processing the data and downloading some more from other SQL server. I would like to be able to access all classes/functions, basically everything from my Zend Application.

I know how to set up the CRON, I just don't know what should I put into .php file to get all functions from the project available for me as well as DB connections.

I'm using Zend Framework 1.11.11

Thanks guys, Mirko.

    why you don't make a new controller for the cron job? – bitWorking Jan 29 '13 at 14:51
  • Hi Redreggae, thanks for you reply. The problem here is that I don't understand the form of the file. In the past, I always created something.php and put in the beginning require_once('functions.php'); and I had all I needed available. If I didn't make it clear, I will use cron to run a file, for example /var/www/sync.php so I won't call http://www.example.co.uk/controller – Mirko Bucko Jan 29 '13 at 15:01

As i understand, you can include Zend Framework Autoloader, in your standalone file, and after this you can use any Zend Framework Classes.

require_once('Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php');
$autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$autoloader->registerNamespace('myOneFile_');

But it's not cool =)
