Re: [PHP] HELP problems running PHP4 script in CRON
I think your troubles are that you need a
#!/path/to/php
or you can start it with
php -f file.php

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.*\/abr',$stripcolors))
{
$newanchor=eregi_replace(br,,$stripcolors);
fwrite($myoutput,$newanchorbr);

fclose($myoutput);
fclose($mysource);
}

All help and advise is as always gratefully received!

RE: [PHP] HELP problems running PHP4 script in CRON
At the top, put:
#!/path/to/php -q
?
...code...
?
The reason itsgiving you those errors is because it doesnt 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.
