CronJob & PHP

Recommended Posts

Hi,

i've got a script that writes a file to the server. if i run it from the webserver it works okay and writes the file to the server.

but if i run it as an cronjob with this command "php -f /var/www/tmi/output.php" it won't create a file on the server.

do i have to use a other command that the php script writes the file to the server?

best

yes, you can use a perl script instead.
PHP run with world permission (module). So unless you set the folder to world writable, It will not create any files.  Perl instead, running with server core, (i don't know whatever you called it), but it can write file anywhere. 
So yeah, if you're unconfortable to chmod your folder to 0777 (which is not recommended), you can use a perl script instead.
