Prevent PHP during Cron

Posted by sciman on July 22, 2008 at 2:49am

Is there a way to prevent PHP code from executing during the Cron Job?

Whenever I create a Page using the PHP Filter, the PHP code that I place on the page gets executed during the Cron Job. Is there an API call or some other code that I can call or wrap around the PHP code to prevent it from executing during the Cron?

Thanks for any insights.

you could use an if

you could use an if statement like this:

<?php
if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
  //this is the actual node page, do the php...

}
?>

Hi Corey,

Not quite sure what it is supposed to do, but I'll give it a try and see how it goes.

Thanks,

Basically, it makes sure

Basically, it makes sure that the PHP is only executed when you are looking at a node page (ex. www.example.com/node/7). arg() is a drupal function that lets you know the parts of the url that determine what page to show.
