FAQ

Q) How do I set up the cron for the drawings?
A) Log into your cPanel and go to the cron page. Here is what you would put for the cron

Command to run: /usr/bin/php -q /home/user/public_html/forums/Sources/shop/LotteryDraw.php > /dev/null

The time to do the drawing must be 6 days apart from each other unless you have altered the code (another FAQ answers this). Make sure that you change the location of the script to represent where your script is.


Q) How do I raise/lower the number of days in between the drawings?
A) Open the file LotteryDraw.php (location above). Find this block of code (should be near the top)

// 518400 is the amount of seconds in 6 days. Change this to change the time between the draws.
if ($currentTime- $last_draw < 518400)
    fatal_error("Lottery draws are to close together.",true);

All you have to do is just change the 518400 to a whatever you want. Though, the time MUST be in seconds.
