At the moment, I sent a trouble ticket to my host -- I'll see what he says, if anything. Please don't think my host is remise in not responding -- it's just that he's not making any money off me for I paid less $7 for the entire year of hosting. So, I can't expect him to spend a lot of time with me. Likewise, what leverage do I have? Am I going to say Look, fix this or I'll take my seven bucks elsewhere? I would like to get better hosting, but simply can't afford it. I won't go into the reasons why, but let's just say conditions are difficult for me. However, with all of your help, I'm learning and doing pretty well, all things considered. So, I'll let the tread die for now until my host responds. If I solve it, then I'll post the solution. If he doesn't respond, then I'll start the thread up again. At least I know a lot more about this now.

Re: [PHP] where php at?
ah, perhaps you don't have a shell account. With a shell account you would telnet to the server and enter the which command on the command line right after your prompt, once you were logged on. try creating a file called which.php have it contain the following; ?php $result = exec(which php); echo $result; ?

Re: [PHP] where php at?
I believe the command portion of your chron entry is /usr/local/bin/php /full/path/to/myscript.php (separated by a space) My Cpanel allows two methods scheduling (updating cron.tab file), if you are using the unix option, you have the ability to schedule the execution at a certain time of day, etc. Soneone else on this thread gave you a pretty good description of how that works, and there are other tutorials out there that will help. I prefer the unix option from my cpanel. make sure that the full path name is provided to your script, usually this will point to home/user or something like that. Also your script will need to use full path names to files, you can use the pwd command (as we did with which) to find out what the current directory is for your script, but it is safest to use nothing but full directory names, because it is almost guaranteed to not be what you would expect, so relative path names will give you problems. hope this helps, Warren Vail At 11:59 AM 3/27/2006, tedd wrote: try creating a file called which.php have it contain the following; ?php $result = exec(which php); echo $result; ?

Thanks Ryan, but that failed to work as well.
Are you getting errors emailed to you? What are they? If you're not,
make sure you set the email address appropriately and then let us know
what errors you get.
If you use the shebang method:
#!/path/to/php
make sure you set the file to executable - it should be 755.

emails back as I tried to get the thing to work -- can't find directory

Last thought.. add something like this:
echo I am in file . __FILE__ . at line . __LINE__ . at time .
date('r') . \n;
to the top of the script that is meant to be running.
Every time it runs it will email you.
If you don't get an email, get your host to check their logs to make
sure it's being triggered properly.
