Run PHP Script Automatically

Hi,

Im looking for help on how to run a PHP script automatically (if its possible?). It is a script to scrape data from a web page and i need it to run every 10-15minutes.

I have come across some references to doing it using something called cron, but my linux is not the best & ive never heard of this before.

Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks :)

Heya, ellie84. Welcome to TSDN!

Cron is the best solution for periodic script execution. Check out this article for an introduction.
