Re: crontab and php

First off you must be certain that you have the CLI or CGI version of PHP installed on the server before you will be able to do this. Then you must add a line something like this as the first line of your script. #!/path/to/php/cgi/php -q the -q part tells it to be quiet ( i think ) might be wrong about that, but i know it should be there. Then after you do this, it should work just like a bash shell script.
