This question has already been answered:

I understand that I need to insert a separate file.php file into it

<?php $this->db->query("DELETE FROM `paygo` WHERE created_date < ".( time()-60*2 )); // через 30 минут ?>

then the link to this file is inserted into the cron

/home/loginhosting/site.domain/www/file.php

This is how I do something wrong, but how can we protect this file?

  • What is the point of protecting him? You need it to be strictly executed once every half hour, if so, then you really need to protect it, otherwise the protection does not make any sense. Because Judging by the code, you just clean the table ... - fens

    Well, and pull this file from anywhere ... From the fact that it will often be executed worse than no one. And as a measure of protection, you can put the rights to the file 555 - fens

  1. The method above (see link). Often used in the framework for example with CodeIgniter

  2. Scripts in a separate folder with access to all through htaccess / usr / bin / php -f /home/loginhosting/site.domain/www/cron/file.php> / dev / null

  3. Just separate scripts out of sight of the host.

    / usr / bin / php -f /home/loginhosting/cron/file.php> / dev / null
