No. Only something stupid like ASP would do that. :-) > Second, is there anyway to run a php file from a cron job or the command > line? Yes. Compile it without adding the --with-apxs or --with-apache (but all the rest the same) and re-consider --enable-discard-path, --with-safe-mode, etc (see the docs on those). You'll then have a stand-alone binary that you can call from cron or #! just like Perl. A quick search of the mailing list for "cron" will turn up this thread numerous times, possibly with more detail. -- Richard Lynch | If this was worth $$$ to you, buy a CD US Customer Support Director | from one of the artists listed here: Zend Technologies USA | http://www.L-I-E.com/artists.htm http://www.zend.com | (this has nothing to do with Zend, duh!)
