Cron Jobs Problems

[sid]

ok - i am trying to execute this code vie cron jobs (just a test script)

<?PHP

mail("[e-mail]", "xxxxxxxxx", date());

?>

the job itself is running fine, just the cron daemon gets me this error:

/home/myuser/public_html/include/cron/myfile.php: ?PHP: No such file or directory
/home/myuser/public_html/include/cron/myfile.php: : command not found
/home/myuser/public_html/include/cron/myfile.php: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token mail("[e-mail]",'
/home/myuser/public_html/include/cron/shopmenu.php: line 3:mail("[e-mail]", "xxxxxxxxx", date());'

what am i doing wrong???

well you actually try to run the php page.

this is not a binary or shell script file.

to execute the script right you should run it in a browser.
or php-cli (command line interface).

the command i suggest you to run in crontab is:

lynx -accept_all_cookies localhost/your_page.php >> /var/log/log_file.php

hopes this helps

thanks a lot... only one more thing... can you modify the paths

lynx -accept_all_cookies localhost/your_page.php >> /var/log/log_file.php

to what i would exactly need?

thanks a lot!
