Does this option work?... I set up a cronfolder in public_html and added import.php, xml_php4.php...

The server admin added this to the cron job but it doesn't run...

0 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/ltgv/public_html/import.php

I would use lynx instead:

lynx -source "http://domain.com/import.php"

I never run PHP in command line. I always use the built in web browser to open things just like a normal user would.

Thanks, we got it working now using your lynx code...

I've had to use it for quite a few other scripts where command line PHP just doesn't work for some reason.

Do you have ffmpeg on that server? I have some really cool tools I'm building right now that use it ;)

Not sure if I have "ffmpeg " or not...

Is there a reason why the Categories list has "2-Cars" & "2-Sports" in it?.... hehe
