NR would you be able to try setting this up for me please?

I need it to update at midnight everynight and the file is http://www.tickerplayground.com/tick_change.php

I'm still a bit confused about doing this, and this is the real command for my new site.

Thanks headbang

I'll be happy to. Once you see one set up, it will probably make more sense to you...

This is what it looks like now:

Since you only want it to go off once at midnight, you set the minutes to 0. Since there are 24 hours in a day and since the count starts with the zero hour, meaning midnight, use 0 for the hour. Then you want it to launch every day of every month and every week, so you set the rest to *...

There may be a problem with this setting though. If you absolutely need this to launch at midnight your time, you may have to adjust the hour because it may be launching at the server time and not your time. So you will need to watch and adjust the hour accordingly if it is important that it launch at midnight...

The command to launch this should be:

I notice when you launch this link there are a lot of Warning errors. Does that cause any problems with the output???

Thanks for that, they were just going to set it at midnight server time so I was going to stick with that. I'll have a look and see if I can get it straight what you did hysterical2

I asked them and he said its because we've already made some tickers, so I need to empty some of the folders Dancing

Ok, hopefully after the folder is emptied, the errors will all go away and hopefully if not, they won't cause any problems if you ignore them...
