Dear All, we have some Nubuilder databases on a Centos6.3 server: [root at caw-server2 db]# ls /var/www/html/nubuilder/db reg_begeleidingsteam reg_jww_archief reg_personeel reg_straathoekwerk reg_bib reg_jww_dossiers reg_resident reg_vrijwilligers reg_drughulp reg_jww_dvd reg_signaleren reg_jac_activiteit reg_onthaal reg_sollicitatie in each database I have placed a executable file cron.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <?php include "./config.php"; //nuBuilder config file $conn = mysql_connect($DBHost, $DBUser, $DBPassword); mysql_select_db($DBName,$conn); /************************************************************** emptying zzsys_trap and zzsys_variable tables **************************************************************/ $sql = "TRUNCATE TABLE zzsys_trap"; mysql_query($sql); $sql = "TRUNCATE TABLE zzsys_variable"; mysql_query($sql); /************************************************************** Deleting temp tables **************************************************************/ $result=mysql_query("SHOW TABLES FROM $DBName ") or die(mysql_error()); if(mysql_num_rows($result)>0) { while($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)) { if(substr($row[0], 0, 3) === '___' && strrev(substr($row[0], 0, 3) === '___')) { $sql = "DROP TABLE $row[0]"; mysql_query($sql); } } } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ for each file I can easily execute the file cron.php : [root at caw-server2 reg_bib]# php cron.php with the desired effect. *However *when I try to execute the cron.php files from a script : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash for i in `ls /var/www/html/nubuilder/db` do php /var/www/html/nubuilder/db/$i/cron.php done exit 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ or just try to execute the script from an absolute path: [root at caw-server2 jvermeulen]# php /var/www/html/nubuilder/db/reg_bib/cron.php PHP Warning: include(./config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/nubuilder/db/reg_bib/cron.php on line 3 PHP Warning: include(): Failed opening './config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/nubuilder/db/reg_bib/cron.php on line 3 PHP Notice: Undefined variable: DBHost in /var/www/html/nubuilder/db/reg_bib/cron.php on line 4 PHP Notice: Undefined variable: DBUser in /var/www/html/nubuilder/db/reg_bib/cron.php on line 4 PHP Notice: Undefined variable: DBPassword in /var/www/html/nubuilder/db/reg_bib/cron.php on line 4 I get a shipload of EM. I don't understand why this works but not from an absolute path. Any help would be greatly appreciated. greetings, J. -- Johan Vermeulen IT-medewerker Caw De Kempen johan.vermeulen at cawdekempen.be Opensource Software is the future.
