Generating a CDR file using PHP scripts.

Hi,

I need to do croning in PHP to generate a CDR (Call Details Record)
file daily from the mysql database.

The CDR file has to be named in a certain sequence such as
xx00000xxx200604080850.cdr. A new file is written every day.

The generated CDR file is then ftp over to a server.

I am willing to pay for someone who is able to write the PHP scripts to
perform the above mentioned job for me.

Cheers,
kurl

You can't "do croning in PHP". Croning is best done with cron.

Do you know what the format of that file would be?

Do you have the FTP extension enabled on your machine?

This is easy. Best done using the command-line interpreter, since the
command-line interpreter does not require an HTTP server. Hence, no
HTTP server overhead and no timeout problems.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Type "php -m" in the command line. It will show you the list of
modules compiled into PHP. Look for FTP.

In order to work with secure FTP, PHP must be compiled with OpenSSL
support (see the "php -m" bit above). There are workarounds, however;
if you have shell access to the machine in question, it's possible to
use a third-party FTP utility such as NcFTPput (free and not affiliated
with me :)

Since I don't know the availability of secure FTP on your machine, I
can't tell yuo if I can do what you need. If you're still interested,
shoot me an e-mail at nc@iname.com.
