Ok so if I run this in the terminal:
/usr/bin/php /var/www/tasks/CreateContacts.php
The PHP script runs fine:
I have added this to crontab -e
*/2 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/tasks/CreateContacts.php > /root/CronTasks/CreateContact_Output.txt
It seems to be running ok because CreateContact_Output.txt
has been created yet contains nothing - and my outcome changes (in database) haven’t been done.
This is running on an Ubuntu server.
EDIT: Added contents of PHP file below:
<?php
include '../public_html/_dbconnect.php';
include '../public_html/_functions.php';
$query = "SELECT * FROM CustomerDetails;";
$results = mysqli_query($con, $query);
if(mysqli_num_rows($results) == 0){
//Do fuck all
}else{
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($results)) {
$HeartID = CreateHeartContact($row['Name']);
echo 'Sending Customer ID:' . $row['id'] . '<br>';
$UniqueID = $row['id'];
$NewQuery = "UPDATE CustomerDetails SET ID = '$HeartID' WHERE ID = '$UniqueID';";
mysqli_query($con, $NewQuery);
}
}
?>
