PHP auto update/post

[Krazie]

Hello!

I'm hoping someone can help with this issue I'm having. I have a php script that auto updates every hour, not via a crontab though. The php script does it automatically. I have my own dedicated server where the script does not update on it's own, and I have paid hosting on another server, where it does update. Both installations of the script are identical. The server setups are not. I am wondering if anyone could help me out and let me know which setting needs to be changed to have the script auto run/auto update. I'm not sure if it's a php variable, or apache module, or what. Here is the php_info() from both. I really have no idea on what I am missing but I have been working on this for about four days now and I honestly have a headache from this now.

Server that it DOES NOT auto update on
Server that it DOES auto update on

Any ideas, suggestions, etc are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

php doesn't have facilities to do any time based execution ( ala schedules ). There has to be another mechanism acting as a scheduler. If not cron, then maybe at. If not either one of those, then it's "something else" that the functioning web server is doing ( although if they aren't using cron I'm not sure I want to know what they are using ).

After looking over the script a little I see this...

add_action('news_hook_job', 'news_cron_hook');

function news_cron_hook() {
	import_news();
	die();

Any clues?

Looking a lot like a cron is handling the scheduling, no?

I think we would need to see the script
