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
the shebang only works if you make the file executable...
do something _like_:
$> chmod ug+x /path/to/your/php/file
"/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
exactly what 'kind' of include is that then - looks normal to me.
maybe you need to learn a bit about how include works, what the 'current working
directory' is (and how this differs between CLI and SAPI versions), and how
the include_path ini setting affects the use of [include|require](_once)?
that said I've sometimes had to have script that runs off the cmdline and via a browser
and it can be a bit of PITA to get to work flawlessly in both envs :-)
... as long as it works heh! :-)
do that anyways.
Thanks for all your help.

If you're on Windows, use Task Manager and have it start an instance of a
web browser, with your URL and script passed to it.
or
Cron job on server, if you have that level of access.

I have a PHP script that I need to run once a day. I have it currently

something
automated. I'd looked into a cron job, but that just looks like it's for
doing linux command line stuff on my host.
I also thought about writing a never ending while loop with an if
statement
that checks to see if it's time to run the script, then when it is time,
it
runs. Then checks to see if it's time again.
But even assuming I could get it working, do I really want to have a PHP
script that runs all the time. This could be bad if it ate up all the CPU
on
my server. I'm not even sure I have access rights to kill the process
once I
start it.
Any suggestions?
