Set up cron using PHP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello:

We need to set up a cron to send an automated email at regular intervals. For this I need to execute a PHP file which retrieves the required information to be mailed. On my virtual server PHP is loaded as a module. Could you please let me know how can I execute a PHP file from the shell prompt.

        I have tried with the following commands:
        % virtual /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/onlineeml.php

It gives the below error:
/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/onlineeml.php: cannot open ?php: no such file


I am not able to execute any general php related commands (Eg: php -v, man p ect)from the Shell prompt. I am getting the error message as "php: Command not found.". I think this is because PHP is loaded as a module an not as a CGI version. In this context, could you please provide some details in executing a PHP script from the Shell prompt when the PHP is loaded as a module.
