I'm actually amazed this snippet still works after all these years. :)

Hi, thanks for the script any idea to limit the rgeneration process only to some product_id?

Made my day.

If you are gonna use this, and you gonna place it somewhere under your public_html/http_docs/whatever public folder accessible over http, you should add that bit on top of the script, as otherwise you may be introducing a security issue on your server:

if (php_sapi_name() !== 'cli') {
    die();
}
