I have this form data for scheduling, I wanted to run a php function which composed with controller and method, seconds is for how many seconds this works, and loops is how many times.
My attempt:
<?php
class Scheduler extends CI_Controller {
public function run()
{
$form_data = $this->input->post();
for ($i=0;$i < $form_data['form-loops'];$i++) {
$form_data['form-controller'].'/'.$form_data['form-method']; //run the function
sleep($form_data['seconds']);
}
}
}
?>

Answer 1

Try this:
<?php
class Scheduler extends CI_Controller {
public function run()
{
$form_data = $this->input->post();
for ($i=0;$i < $form_data['form-loops'];$i++) {
$method = $form_data['form-controller'].'/'.$form_data['form-method']; //run the function
$this->$method;
sleep($form_data['seconds']);
}
}
}
?>
