PHP and Apache

Anon

Help! What do I need to get my PHP files to run on Apache or MIIS? I'm running Apache on my NT machine and I can get the PHP files to open properly. Thanks!

Anyone know of a way to run a php script from a cron job.. maybe with Lynx?

Thanks,

When you compile it, you can create a cgi executable type program. Then you can run it like:

php blah.php3

More info:

hmm.. I already have PHP running as a Apache(httpd) mod.. and dont really want to use CGI.. is there a way to use cron to excecute a PHP script through Apache..

Anon

I'm using wget, as suggested by Kirk Parker, and it's doing fine. According to Kirk, Lynx will also work.

Hi,

To run a PHP script via a cron job (if you have the LWP Perl module installed):

1) Set up a shell script to run via cron, in the shell script put,

perl /pathtosite/run.pl

2) In the run.pl perl script put,

#!/bin/perl

use LWP::Simple;

$p = get "http://sitename/run.php";
print $p;

Note that the "print" is optional.
