Schedule php function once a day

Question

I have a question.. Is there any way to run a php function once a day. For example. I have a function which find every Sunday of next year and apply some offers (such as discount to all products etc.) This function run every time that users refresh the page. I want to run this function once a day in order to check if that day is Sunday. If Sunday then it will execute, otherwise It will not execute. Any ideas?

Of cource I heard it and I find for the solution there :) Anyway! Thank you! — was, Oct 05 '14 at 15:22

This can be done using cron. If you want another way without using cron check this stack overflow question.

If you're using Windows you can use the task scheduler.

If you're using LINUX

Use Cron Jobs

# run the script at 4:30am every day
30 4 * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/me/myscript.php

If you're using WINDOWS

Use sheduled task

If you're using XAMP

C:\xampp\php\php.exe -f c:/xampp/htdocs/myscript.php
