Execute PHP script every X seconds?

Hello everyone.

I have developed a rather complex script to query a gameserver which also makes checks on players within. However the issue I am having difficulty with is running the PHP script every X seconds.

I know of a simple way which works but doesnt seem too accurate when executing it for me.

Code:

$overall_time = 0;

while ($overall_time < 60) {  $overall_time +10= ; sleep(10);



// The script



}

So I want to ask those knowledgable coders out there the best way to run a script say every 5-10 seconds using possibly a 1 min CRON kick start?

Any help appreciated.

PHP Code:


		
			
for ($i = 0; $i < 6; ++$i)
{
    // script here
    sleep(10);
}

Hi Dismounted. Out of interest is this best and most reliable way to run a script every X seconds?

Thanks for your assistance.

Most reliable? Maybe not. The PHP script will still suffer from timeouts as defined in php.ini. The best way I can think of right now is to create a shell script that will sleep and run your PHP script (with a cron kicking it).

Any idea then how to do it with Shell?

Your help is appreciated
