Cron Job and Output

[biba028]

I have php codes running under a cron job.

But everytime i output (echo) , it comes out as complete text:

THe php script is setup to output some stuff so they are sent to the cron email...

but all the html tags shows up in the email too!

 

example:

 

Hello<br />World

 

instead of

 

Hello

World

 

even when i put html codes, i see the html tags literally.

Emails are generally meant to be sent in plain text.

 

I'm not sure where exactly you would configure your systems mail program to send as html, but your question has nothing at all to do with php.

my code is in php

 

here is the cron job :

 

/usr/bin/GET http://path_to_my_php

/usr/bin/GET http://path_to_my_php

 

Your script might be written in php, but the email (generated via cron) is sent via your systems default MTA.

thanks.

do you have any suggestions ?

 

should i use

php -q file.php

 

instead of

GET http://phppath

 

?

Why would that make a difference? As I said, the email isn't being sent by your php script.
