error using php script to run crontab

Recommended Posts

My host doesn't allow me to setup a crontab via SSH. So I have to use the schedule tasks option my hosting service provides. So I made a php script file and put the below code in it.

 

#!/usr/local/nf/php5/bin/php

 

 

<?php

function process_queue() {

//variables

$url = "http://www.mysite.com/rotator.php?page=processqueue&login=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD";

 

$url = "http://www.mysite.com/cron.php?server_id=1";

$url = "http://www.mysite.com/autocrop.php?server_id=1";

$url = "http://www.mysite.com/check.php?server_id=1";

 

 

//open connection

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

$result = curl_exec($ch);

 

//clean up

curl_close($ch);

 

return $result;

}

$result = process_queue();

?>

 

This code seems to work. However it tells me that it couldn't access the site because of password error, etc. But I have the right username and password.

 

This is what the email says:

 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<html><head>

<title>401 Authorization Required</title>

</head><body>

<h1>Authorization Required</h1>

<p>This server could not verify that you

are authorized to access the document

requested. Either you supplied the wrong

credentials (e.g., bad password), or your

browser doesn't understand how to supply

the credentials required.</p>

</body></html>

 

I copied this URL into the address bar of the browser and it still asked for a username and password.

 

http://www.mysite.com/rotator.php?page=processqueue&login=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD

 

Got any ideas??
