Re: updating table field by date

hi cricket,.... thank you for your response 

I have another approach to it,... on the click to advertising banner and/or link thru function (link goes thru function), and checks and compare  "featured_end" date with today's date,... and if it less than today's date it resets table. 

here is the function,... just in case anyone needs it: 

  function featured($id = null)

  {

    if(!($dba = $this->Dba->findById($id)))

    {

      $this->flash('error', ucfirst(i18n::translate('dba not found')));

      $this->redirect('/not_found');

    }

    elseif(!($user = $this->User->findById($dba['Dba']['user_id'])))

    {

      $this->flash('error', ucfirst(i18n::translate('user not found')));

      $this->redirect('/not_found');

    }

    else

    {

$today = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

    if($dba['Dba']['featured_end'] <= $today)

    {

      $dba['Dba']['featured'] = 0;

      $dba['Dba']['featured_start'] = NULL;

      $dba['Dba']['featured_end'] = NULL;

      $this->Dba->save($dba);

      $this->redirect('/');

    }

        $this->redirect('/dbas/view/' . $dba['Dba']['id']);

    }    

 }

Create a shell task to fetch all records with featured == 1 and
end_date in the past. Run a cron job at midnight to call it.
