How do i keep a php script active even if nobody opened the website?
<p>I have a project, i need to do this</p>

<ol>
<li>a desktop application sends a txt file with a number to the web server every 5 seconds</li>
<li>the web server opens that file and saves the number in a database</li>
</ol>

<p>the thing is that i need it to work 24/7 , even if the user hasn't logged in.</p>

<p>the desktop application already works, what can I do?</p>
