I used to have the same problem and solved it as follows: I wrote my php script and created my crontab runing the script with the lynx-browser. The output is sent to me via eMail
in crontab e.g.: MAILTO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 15 15 * * * lynx -dump http://www.myDomain.com/myScript.php That works fine ;-) [my English isn't fine - i know :-( ] Lars Jedinski > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Jonathan Villa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Montag, 15.
