PHP自动邮件......“没有指定输入文件。”

Question

I have written a php file which sends email which is running via browser correctly. .I want to automatically send mails to user so i set up a job using "cron" after every 15 minutes

My php file name is "mail.php" and it is under folder "/public_html/myfolder/mail.php"

I have writen the command as

php -f /public_html/myfolder/mail.php

but it is showing error as "No input file specified."

so i tried using

/usr/local/bin/php -f /public_html/myfolder/mail.php

but the error was

"Could not open input file: /public_html/suvichar/mail.php

i have given the 777 permission to "mail.php"

can you please tell me what might be the issue can anybody give me exact command for cron to execute php file

Answer 1

Normally public_html is located in the /var/www (or similar directory). For FreeBSD the location of public_html is /usr/home/<username>/public_html. You already stated you put execute permissions. For any one else looking to add execute permission on a file you run this at the command prompt:

 chmod +x scriptname.php

Second you need to make sure you include the path to php at the top of your php file

 #!/usr/bin/php

--- OR --- (FreeBSD) and for you according to your question

 #!/usr/local/bin/php

When you call the cron job in your crontab file you use

 crontab -e

Add this line to the file and save: 15 * * * * /absolute/path/to/mail.php

# (This states that the script will run every 15 minutes everyday.)
# ------------- minute (0 - 59)
# | ----------- hour (0 - 23)
# | | --------- day of month (1 - 31)
# | | | ------- month (1 - 12)
# | | | | ----- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0)
# | | | | |     * - Any day/month/hour
 15 * * * *     /absolute/path/to/mail.php
