What a convoluted mess. Rather than using the shebang at the begging of the PHP file I had to put it in the cron command "/usr/local/bin/php public_html/wap/mailer/dailylist.php" It will now run. But then I had to slightly redesign the HTMLMimeMail code. I had to define some of it as functions and include the file as a function definition rather than include the direct code. I also had to change my include statements to this "include "public_html/wap/mailer/sending.php";" With this type of include I can no longer run it from a browser, but I really didn't want to do that anyways. Thanks for all your help.
