How are you executing the script?  Does it come by and run 'php
yourscript.php' or does the script have a shebang ('#!/usr/bin/php') in
it?  I've found that works well... just put that as the first line, and
it behaves as a shell script (after you make it executable, of course)

Subject: [PHP] Running PHP as a cron job....

Hi all,

This is probably going to sound incoherant, but....

Do I have to do anything (other than change the permissions of a php
file)
to get it to run as part of a cron job?  I created an extremely simple
file
that should just send a blank email to me (using mail()).  I got an
email
from the cron daemon saying, "bad token", or something like that, yet
when
executed through a browser, the script behaves as it should.

Do I have to write the php scripts differently to how I would if they
were
to be displayed in a browser?

Neeed...Sleeeep.... ;)

Cheers,
James.
