RE: [PHP] Running PHP as a cron job....

How are you executing the script? Does it come by and run 'php yourscript.php' or does the script have a shebang ('#!/usr/bin/php') in it? I've found that works well... just put that as the first line, and it behaves as a shell script (after you make it executable, of course) Ben -----Original Message----- From: James, Yz [mailto:liljim@btconnect.com] Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2001 3:39 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Running PHP as a cron job.... Hi all, This is probably going to sound incoherant, but.... Do I have to do anything (other than change the permissions of a php file) to get it to run as part of a cron job? I created an extremely simple file that should just send a blank email to me (using mail()). I got an email from the cron daemon saying, "bad token", or something like that, yet when executed through a browser, the script behaves as it should. Do I have to write the php scripts differently to how I would if they were to be displayed in a browser? Neeed...Sleeeep.... ;) Cheers, James. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
