Manually Started – JS Cronjob
When you write your script and save it, it will not automatically run.
You must load the file first.
After loading the file the cronjob will continue running automatically.
<script type="text/javascript">
// Cron Timer (Set run timer)
setTimeout(function() {
location.reload();
}, 25000 /* 25 seconds */ );
</script>

// Call to Method
csv_dump_and_send();
?>
xDebug PHP Wizard
Setting up xDebug is a bit of a pain as the links are not clearly linked.
So below is some info to help you 😉
In order to use the Install Wizard.
Open your PHPinfo() page from the xampp default dashboard page
http://localhost/dashboard/phpinfo.php
Copy all "Ctrl+A" and paste into the install wizard box and you will get further instructions
The Install Wizard (I think this is mainly for windows. Linux and mac can use terminal)
