Gossamer Forum: General: Internet Technologies: PHP: Email Script: Crontab: Driving me Nuts (Stealth)

Hello all,

I am hoping someone can help me to solve a problem that I'm having with running a PHP script via crontab...the script works perfectly fine in the web browser, but when it executes via Cron, I get the following errors:

Code:
Warning: fopen(/includes/templates/emails/files/5.txt) [http://www.php.net/function.fopen]:  
failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/directory/admin/admin_auto_cues_email.php on line 116 

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/www/directory/admin/admin_auto_cues_email.php on line 117 

Warning: fopen(/includes/templates/emails/files/5.txt) [http://www.php.net/function.fopen]:

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/www/directory/admin/admin_auto_cues_email.php on line 133 

Warning: fopen(/includes/templates/emails/files/5.txt) [http://www.php.net/function.fopen]:  
failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/directory/admin/admin_auto_cues_email.php on line 138 

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/www/directory/admin/admin_auto_cues_email.php on line 139 

Warning: fopen(/includes/templates/emails/files/5.txt) [http://www.php.net/function.fopen]:  
failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/directory/admin/admin_auto_cues_email.php on line 141

Here are the corresponding codes where those errors in the script where these errors are occuring:

Code:
					 $my_file_name = $my_userid . ".txt"; 
					 $file = fopen ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/includes/templates/emails/files/" . $my_file_name,"w"); 
					 $fout = fwrite ($file, $insert_header); 
					 clearstatcache(); 
				  	  while ($cue_row = mysql_fetch_array($cue_get_result)) { 
					  		$cue_typeid       = $cue_row[0]; 
							$cue_type         = $cue_row[1]; 
							$cue_text         = $cue_row[2]; 
							$cue_type_ext     = $cue_row[3]; 
							if ($debug == "on") { 
								print'USERID: ';echo $my_userid; print '- Cues Sent'; 
							} 
							   $insert_message = " 
		<!-- NEW RECORD --> 
		After reading your profile another EnneaMates member is " . $cue_text . "! <img src='http://" . $server_name  . $GLOBALS['file_emoticons_relpath'] . "/" . $cue_typeid  . "." . $cue_type_ext . "' alt='" . $cue_type . "'> 
"; 
							// Append Messages to File 
							$file = fopen ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/includes/templates/emails/files/" . $my_file_name,"a"); 
							$fout = fwrite ($file, $insert_message); 
							clearstatcache(); 
					  } 
				 	  // Build Footer of File 
					  $insert_footer = ""; 
					  $file = fopen  ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/includes/templates/emails/files/" . $my_file_name,"a"); 
					  $fout = fwrite ($file, $insert_top_footer); 
					  clearstatcache(); 
					  $file = fopen  ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/includes/templates/emails/files/" . $my_file_name,"a"); 
					  $fout .= fwrite ($file, $insert_footer); 
					  clearstatcache(); 
					  $file = fopen  ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/includes/templates/emails/files/" . $my_file_name,"a"); 
					  $fout .= fwrite ($file, $insert_bottom_footer); 
					  fclose ( $file ); 
					  clearstatcache();

BTW: I've spend a number of hours searching through PHP.net, PHPBuilder, Google, etc., and can't come up a concrete solution for the above problem.

I'd like to solve this problem ASAP...since the emails need to be sending on a consistent basis...

Any suggestions are direct links to possibly solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Buh Bye!

Me
