Scheduled Task and include relative addressing

[Sanderse]

Hi,

I have a PHP background job, running daily via Task Scheduler (Windows server).

So far, it works.

 

I have the following directories:

A with subdir A2

B with subdir B2

 

Suppose the php file is in directory A.

The php contains several include statements. This works as long as the file to be included is in the same directory as the job itself or in subdirectory A2: include ("subjob.php")  and include ("A2/subjob.php")

 

However, I want to include files from dir B or B2

But include ("../B/subjob.php") refuses to work.

 

The strange thing is that in interactive jobs this all works without any problem (of course).

In the scheduled situation, the "downstream addressing" to A2 works, but the "upstream addressing" does not.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Jack

But include ("../B/subjob.php") refuses to work.

It should. Do you think that maybe telling us an error message would be helpful?

You could do a batch file that runs the php 

cd c:\path\to\your\php\file

php yourphpfile.php

 

save that as whatever.bat

 

then run whatever.bat with your scheduled task, that should take care of the relative paths
