[SOLVED] Running php from command line issues

[dfound]

Hey,

I'm trying to run a php script from the command line, but I'm having some difficulties.

If I browse to my page in IE, my script executes properly, but if I run it from the command line, I receive this error:

Warning:  fopen() URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /www/public_html/update.php on line 21

Warning:  fopen(): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /www/public_html/update.php on line 21

 

I'm not sure why I receive errors when trying to run on the command line and not when accessing the page through a browser... My question is, can I open the page from a command line like a browser would??? I would like to make it a cron job, and currently I try "php update.php", but that receives the error... Is there a "http update.php" or a "get update.php" that would potentially do the same thing as a browser???

 

Thanks

Dave

The issue your having seems like it may be related to where exactly you call the script from. Are you in the same directory as the script when you call it? Does the script try to open or include any files? We might need to see some code.

 

One thing you could use to make it run exactly the same as in a browser would be to call your script via wget. eg;

 

wget http://yourdmain.com/script.php
