How to create new csv file for every 1 hour in php?

Question

I am trying to create a new csv for every hour based some updated data.

E.g If my first csv is generated at 10:00AM on 30 Jan,2019 then my csv file name would be "registered_employee_10_00_30-01-2019.csv".

Then, at 11:00 AM, on 30 Jan,2019 i.e after exactly one hour I want to create a new CSV file with name "registered_employee_11_00_30-01-2019.csv".

So there will be two files in my directory.

1) "registered_employee_10_00_30-01-2019.csv".

2) "registered_employee_11_00_30-01-2019.csv".

Basically, I want to create the new csv file for every hour.

What should be the php logic for this?

What you want has everything related to cron jobs and it is covered here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/120228/php-running-scheduled-jobs-cron-jobs — Sanjit Bhardwaj, Jan 30 '19 at 06:45

you need to create a Cron Job to run every 1 hour in you SO:

Type the following in the linux terminal

crontab -e

And add the follow code (replace path/to/cron.php with you script):

0 * * * * /usr/bin/php path/to/cron.php &> /dev/null

It will run your script every 1 hour.

I hope it helps, regards.-
