Like someone else said, this applies if PHP is compiled as a cgi and you can run it from the command line.
If it's a module, you have to load up your page through a web browser to run it. So for your command, you can use lynx --dump http://www.domain.com/whatever.php providing you have lynx installed. You can use wget, too. Your script shouldn't produce any output unless you send it to a file or somewhere. ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Analysis & Solutions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PHP List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 4:09 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Crontabs > On Tue, Jun 18, 2002 at 08:55:54PM +0100, Matthew Ward wrote: > > What do you mean by "appropriate #! at the top"? > > When you write a script that you want to be executable, you put in the > pound bang at the top, telling the operating system which program to use > to run the script.
