Is it possible to set a cron job by using php / modify xampp setting?

Question

I would like to let the user set a cron job through my system and i built it in php code. After my searching i found that only way set a cron job in windows is to use the program available in the windows.

However, there are some software on available to set my cron job in the web page, is it possible ? Thank you

This software allow me to send schedule email by setting in a php page

Answer 1

I wouldnt advise allowing the web server to have the necessary rights to alter cron. But you could set up a single cron job thats a PHP script that runs every X minutes. Then in that script check a database table for specific tasks that were submitted by the end user.

Answer 2

You could try using http://cron.io to programmatically schedule events.

(I'm not affiliated with cron.io, I just think its an excellent idea)
