[RESOLVED] cron help

[TheRealPenguin]

im making a custome game and trying to get a turn based wealth added to the account here is my code for my config.php which all my varibles are stored on

<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['user']))
{
$user = $_SESSION['user'];
    $userstats="SELECT * from UserDetails where userName='$user'";
    $userstats2=mysql_query($userstats) or die("Could not get user stats");
    $userstats3=mysql_fetch_array($userstats2);
    $networth1 = $userstats3[networth];
    $email = $userstats3[e_mail];
    $compname = $userstats3[company_name];
    $id = $userstats3[ID];
    $discustomers = $userstats3[dis_cust];
    $hapcustomers = $userstats3[happy_cust];
    $employee = $userstats3[employee];
    $money = $userstats3[money];
    $ecar = $userstats3[ecars];
    $scar = $userstats3[scars];
    $lcar = $userstats3[lcars];
    $customers = $discustomers + $hapcustomers;
    $tcar = $ecar + $scar + $lcar;
    $net = $employee * 1000;
    $networth = $networth1 + $net;
    $wealth = $employee*500;


}  

?>

then here is my cron.php page

<?php
session_start();
include"connect.php";
include"config.php";
$zip=$money+$wealth;
$well="UPDATE UserDetails SET money='$zip' WHERE active='1'";
mysql_query($well) or die();
?>

my cron is working on time but it is always setting my money to $0 even when i started out with $money=5000 and $employee=2 so i cant figure out why it sets it to 0 everytime the cron is ran

<?php
session_start();
include"connect.php";
include"config.php";
$zip=$money+$wealth;
$well="UPDATE UserDetails SET money='$zip' WHERE active='1'";
mysql_query($well) or die();
?>

Where do $money and $wealth come from? Presumably, the session data, but this won't work because each time the cron script runs it's an entirely new session from any other run (session_start()? Which session? Okay, I'll start a new one....). So $_SESSION['username'] won't be set, so none of that config stuff happens, so $money and $wealth are both zero.

$money comes from my database and $wealth comes from $employees (also from database) 500 so what should i do take

$userstats="SELECT * from UserDetails where userName='$user'";
    $userstats2=mysql_query($userstats) or die("Could not get user stats");
    $userstats3=mysql_fetch_array($userstats2);
    $networth1 = $userstats3[networth];
    $email = $userstats3[e_mail];
    $compname = $userstats3[company_name];
    $id = $userstats3[ID];
    $discustomers = $userstats3[dis_cust];
    $hapcustomers = $userstats3[happy_cust];
    $employee = $userstats3[employee];
    $money = $userstats3[money];
    $ecar = $userstats3[ecars];
    $scar = $userstats3[scars];
    $lcar = $userstats3[lcars];
    $customers = $discustomers + $hapcustomers;
    $tcar = $ecar + $scar + $lcar;
    $net = $employee * 1000;
    $networth = $networth1 + $net;
    $wealth = $employee*500;

and have it seperate from the other session so that they will have a value
