Script to run - Running local and external scripts

[davidgwalker]

Running LOCAL scripts:

Enter this:


Code: Select all

../eg_email_site_stats_to_boss.php
if you click test path it will run the local file

included with phpJobScheduler.
If you need the path to a file on your root folder (http://www..mydomain/myfile.php) you would enter:



Code: Select all

../../myfile.php


Assuming you have installed phpJobScheduler in the root of your website

(http://www..mydomain/phpJobScheduler/)

Running REMOTE scripts:

phpJobScheduler now uses PHP CURL:
http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php
or fsockopen:
http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php
to run remote scripts.
To run remote scripts you need to enter the FULL url like this:


Code: Select all

http://www.dwalker.co.uk/phpjobscheduler/eg_email_site_stats_to_boss.php

Test it... by clicking test path.

NEW features below:
Arguments
You can now add arguments (variables) like this:
$url="http://www.TheDomainName/folder/file.php?q1=1&q2=2";
This will POST the variables q1 and q2 to file.php

Secure pages
Also you can now fire scripts in secure password protected areas like this:
$url="http://user:pass@www.TheDomainName/folder/file.php";
where:
user = your username to access the protected area.
pass = your password to access the protected area.

Port
And finally you can now specify which port to connect to:
$url="http://www.TheDomainName:90/folder/file.php";
Above port 90 is specified (port 80 is the default).

Hope it works for you

Dave.

Hi
How can I remove the character limit on the "Script to run" entry field and as the script address I have keeps being cut off at the end

[davidgwalker]

Hi,

Yes, its simple just run this SQL:

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE phpjobscheduler CHANGE scriptpath scriptpath VARCHAR( 255 )

Then next time you attempt to add a long URL it will be fine.

Cheers

Dave

EDIT - this has been corrected in version 3.5 due out Dec 4th 2008.

you can add the following to any page on your website:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.phpjobscheduler.co.uk/" title="phpJobScheduler"><img src="http://YOURDOMAIN/phpjobscheduler/firepjs.php?return_image=1" border="0" alt="phpJobScheduler"></a>

Ensure you change 'YOURDOMAIN' to your own domain name!

If your website does not receive enough hits then you can add that html to any web page on any website (not just to the site where phpJobScheduler is installed).

Cheers

Dave
