Hello Jochem, thank you this has solved my problem: bla.php 2 $tf = $argv[1]; Best regards, Merlin Jochem Maas wrote:

Hi there, I would like to run a php file via cron job and there is a parameter to be passed. Unfortunatelly this does not work: # /usr/local/bin/php /home/www/create_notification_emails.php?tf=2 Could not open input file: /home/www/create_notification_emails.php?tf=2 The problem seems to be the ?tf=2

something like: "/usr/local/bin/php /home/www/create_notification_emails.php -tf=2" you can retrieve input args via $argv variable - I suggest finding a package that parses this input for you so you don't have to manually do it, search for something like "php GetOpt package" ... PEAR has one for sure.

How do I pass parameters to this script? I need the same script but executed in different time frames which is passed by the parameter. Any ideas? Thank you for any hint, Merlin
