Re: Running PHP File under Crontab...
There are a couple of ways. My prefrence is to control the output directly from the app in PHP. However you should be able to pipe the output to a file without issue. Cheers, m!

Re: Running PHP File under Crontab...
> I am wanting to execute a PHP file 5 times a day via crontab. Is it > possible? If so what is the proper crontab command for this? Hi. I'm running several PHP programs via cron. #1 Make sure you have CLI (command line interface) in your PHP port: As root, > cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 > make config Then make sure the "CLI" is set to "on". If it isn't, change it, and recompile the port. For example "portupgrade -f php5-5.2.12" will recompile the port, if you have portupgrade installed. #2 Write the PHP script you want to run. There are different syntaxes for writing a command-line PHP program but here is one of them: Save this to a path "/path/to/mycode.php". #3 Add cron job to execute this program. Your crontab should look like this: */5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -f /path/to/mycode.php (That would execute your PHP script every 5 minutes for example.) That's it! There is an alternate way to write PHP scripts for CLI, but I have not used it extensively, so I don't know all the details or the correctest way to do it. You can write a script like this: #!/usr/local/bin/php And then save it to a file for example "test.php" and set the executable permission on it. Then you can just: ./test.php from a terminal. So you could change the cron to just execute the script directly in this case instead of explicitly calling /usr/local/bin/php in the crontab. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: Running PHP File under Crontab...
CLI meaning, if I can run and excute in command line, a php file can run in crontab? doing the following in shell: "# php helloworld.php" - "hello world" is produced...
