$config automationHandler

Submitted by marco@flapper on Sun, 2012-02-05 09:51 in

Hi,
Was wondering when to use the curl option in the $config_automationHandler.

Default is PHP.

I use a cron job like sh /home/accountname/cron/import.sh

And import.sh is:
/usr/bin/php /home/accountname/public_html/scripts/import.php @ALL

So I guess PHP is ok, but when should I use Curl and are there some differences like speed of import?

Hi Marco,

If php works that's fine - the cron option is provided for use on hosting accounts that do not have the necessary URL wrappers or permissions required for PHP to fopen() a URL, that's all. There shouldn't be any significant difference in speed at all.

Cheers,
David.
