I want to execute a PHP insertion webservice at a particular time using a cron job in XAMPP localhost server and Windows 7 OS, can you tell me how to execute it in detail?
Open Scheduler (type Sched into the search box and it'll appear)OR go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks
Click 'Create Task'.
The Scheduled Task Wizard will appear. Give the task you wish to generate a name and a brief description if you so wish.
Click the 'Actions' tab then click 'New'. Leave the top option at its default, which is 'Start Program'.
In the 'Program/script' box click browse to your favourite browser and select its executable file (eg: firefox.exe)
Go to the 'Triggers' tab and select any time once per day (or whatever frequency you prefer) then fine tune the conditions from within the 'Settings' tab. Done!
