Can you do a cron job on a PHP prog? It can, and run basically like any other shell script. The first line needs to be the dash-bang that point to your PHP binary. #!/usr/local/php/bin/php <?php Note that the opening tag is required. No closing tag is required. Note that you can/should compile PHP to contain the CLI binary (new releases do). You can check what kind of PHP binary you have using -v: Shell> /usr/local/php/bin/php -v To keep track of scripts that I run under Apache, versus those that run on the command line, I use the .psh extension on those that run on the command line. --- Hans Zaunere President, Founder New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org Gmail: The 1gb spam catcher
