Creating A Scheduled Task on PHP Running Under IIS

Question

I'm fairly new to PHP. I need to run a function on my PHP site on a daily basis. I have seen posts on how to do this under Linux, but I'm running the PHP site on Windows Server 2012 under IIS. How can I create a PHP function and then run it at a certain time each day?

You could use Task Scheduler on the server to run a batch file that runs the PHP script via command line at a regular interval, which i hope should solve your problem.

Thanks, but I can't install ZCron. This is not for personal use which is against the TOS of ZCron. Is there another way to do this? – FlyFish Feb 23 '17 at 16:16
