I have a Cronjob which is done every ten minutes on my site, for example on the page http://www.example.com/example.php
Sometimes, in the administration panel of my website, when the admin have made some modification, i want to automatically launch the script on example.php.
So my question is : Is there a way to visit an url, without showing it ? My goal is that the server read the page, not the admin, because the example files can be very heavy.
I have read this thread, but it's not clear to me : How can I simulate a visit to a url?
Thanks you for your advice !
Use PHP - curl make a standard code and with the single you can upload data to server.. http://coderscult.com/php-curl-tutorial-and-example/
You can use wget/curl to silently grab the content of a page.
wget -O – -q http://example.com/urltofetch.html >/dev/null 2>&1
