[PHP] Pass parameters via url inside a php cron job
Hi there, I would like to run a php file via cron job and there is a parameter to be passed. Unfortunatelly this does not work: # /usr/local/bin/php /home/www/create_notification_emails.php?tf=2 Could not open input file: /home/www/create_notification_emails.php?tf=2 The problem seems to be the ?tf=2 How do I pass parameters to this script? I need the same script but executed in different time frames which is passed by the parameter. Any ideas? Thank you for any hint, Merlin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thank you for any hint, Merlin Hi Merlin, Commandline arguments (for things like Cron) are a bit different than URL parameters. Try lookup information on argv and argc: http://www/php.net/features.commandline -- Aschwin Wesselius /'What you would like to be done to you, do that to the other'/

PEAR has one for sure. How do I pass parameters to this script? I need the same script but executed in different time frames which is passed by the parameter. Any ideas?
