Run PHP File every 10 minutes?

Ok first things first, I have looked into cron jobs and I unfortunately only have access to the FTP so unless I have misread it I don't think thats possible.

There is no need for a visual representation, its just the function that is run on the page.

I want it to just run some mysql code and do a quick function..

Looking for any helpful answers or suggestions be it jquery, or some other plugin, thanks!

Well if you have the access to exec command anyhow, you can do something like this to setup a cron job via PHP script

exec('echo -e "`crontab -l`\n30 9 * * * /path/to/script" | crontab -');

If thats not the case, you should see this: Its a third-party cron job service. 10 min interval is available for free.

Why don't you try using an external cronjob service?

You talked about jQuery so I imagined you have a front-end side, add a secret route like /_/path/to/cron/job and call it using things like the Iron.io IronWorker

google for cronjob service and pick one. (first result for me was:https://www.setcronjob.com)

set up a page on your server which does the desired action.

feed the url of this page to the cronjob service and let it called every 10 minutes.
