Suppose you have a PHP script with the following contents (simple example here):
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
To enable the Job Scheduler to execute this script directly, we need make only two changes to the script. First, add one line to the top of the script:
- !/usr/bin/php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Note that the first line is an interpreter directive, which tells the operating system which program to load.
Secondly, make this file executable with: chmod u+x info.php
You also can add the script directly to the job definition instead of using a separate file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<job name="job_execphp">
<script language="shell">
<![CDATA[
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
]]>
</script>
<run_time/>
</job>
