RE: [PHP] HELP problems running PHP4 script in CRON

[Ray Hilton]

At the top, put:

#!/path/to/php -q
<?
...code...
?>

The reason itsgiving you those errors is because it doesn’t no what
interpreter to use for the script.  Of course, your going to have to
have the standalone binary of php built, not the apache module.

On a side note, does anyone know if you can get php to build both at the
same time?  The binary and the .so module?  At the moment, I just have
to compile twice.

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);
           $stripquotes=eregi_replace("&#039","`",$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!
