Re: PHP and Cron

Shouldn't you try to write #!/usr/local/bin/php -q at the VERY FIRST line in your php script, then chmod it u+x and execute it? It's so simple. Those #!.. things aren't perlish or something. It's your system judges what program this script to execute with. Well, if it's not acceptable, you can even write a line in crontab: 00 01 **** /usr/local/bin/php -q script.php If you do so, there is no need in placing #!/usr/local/bin/php -q instruction in your script. The script does not even need to have executable bit. Example: script.php: ......... #!/usr/local/bin/php -q <?php echo "it works\n"; ?> ..... chmod u+x script.php ./script.php it works > Adam Charnock wrote: > > > > Hi all.
