Hi,
Please find script below and hopefully tell me why when I run it over the
web it works perfectly but when I run it using cron or in a telnet session
it errors saying no such file or directory.
THIS IS THE ERROR
/*
./fetch_news.php: ?: No such file or directory
./fetch_news.php: syntax error near unexpected token
`fetchnews($mysourcefile,$m
youtputfile,$myflashvar)'
*/
THIS IS THE SCRIPT
<?
#Requires 3 Params
#$mysourcefile = path to content source html file
#$myoutputfile = path to content output html file
#$myflashvar = Flash variable you wish to assign the content to eg:mynews,
mytechnology
function fetchnews($mysourcefile,$myoutputfile,$myflashvar)
{
$mysource=fopen($mysourcefile,"r") or die ("Couldn't open the Source
file");
$myoutput=fopen($myoutputfile,"w") or die ("Couldn't open the Output
file");;
fwrite($myoutput,$myflashvar);
while (!feof($mysource))
{
$myline=fgets($mysource, 1024);
$stripquotes=eregi_replace("'","`",$myline);
$stripcolors=eregi_replace("COLOR=\"#.*\"","",$myline);
if (eregi('^<a.*<\/a><br>',$stripcolors))
{
$newanchor=eregi_replace("<br>","",$stripcolors);
fwrite($myoutput,"$newanchor<br>");
}
}
fclose($myoutput);
fclose($mysource);
}
?>
<?
fetchnews("http://www.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=Graphics%20industry%20ne
ws&o=html","graphicsnews.php","mynews=");
?>
All help and advise is as always gratefully received!
Splashy.
