php - Cron Job $_SERVER issue

Question

I want to run a cron job. My application is developed in PHP and Mysql.

In browser if i use $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] in coding, it works fine. But if I use the same thing in cron job it is giving errors.

Can any body give suggestion to fix this?

Answer 1

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] is not populated when running it from a cronjob, the file is not accessed via HTTP.

You will either have to hardcode the Host or pass it via a command line argument and access it via the $_SERVER['argv'] array.
