Authorize.net PHP - How to use the CIM to do monthly payments?

I have seen various libraries in PHP for the Authorize.net Customer Information Manager, but I开发者_如何学运维 haven't seen how you can manage how often or make automated monthly or timed payment.

Is this possible? How?

Thanks!

If you are running linux server, you can use cron. Cron is a system process that runs the jobs you put it, these jobs give you the job by writing to it in a text file.

To read more about cron, you can read here: http://troy.jdmz.net/cron/

And then you can run the php script with cron. Here is a article that explains how to do this: http://www.htmlcenter.com/blog/running-php-scripts-with-cron/

If you use Windows, I recommend you to use Windows Task Scheduler. It is also possible to use Cron in Windows too, but there is a lot of extra work, so I personally recommend using the Windows Task Scheduler if you use Windows server.
