Is it feasible and/or advisable to combine shell/apache usage in one file?
I have a group of tasks that have to be called from website AND cronjob.
Can i use php in apache2 REGULARLY that contain the line #!/usr/bin/php ?
Will i be disappointed and give up on using parameters of both cases?

Thanks!

On web servers where more then 2 php versions are installed “which php” can cause a problem. In my case the path was the path to the 4.2 version. I had to ask the hosting provider the right path.
But a very good tutorial!

Thanks a ton Santiago. I changed the format with dos2unix and it worked for me.

Hey Rahul VK Khandelwal,

Your file might be in the wrong format. DOS format (newline is \r\n) instead of unix format (newline is \n).
Good luck

When I run ‘which php’….It shows me result as below
/usr/bin/php

I added the following line to my script
#!/usr/bin/php

But when I execute the script like ‘./script.php’, it shows me error as below.
-bash: ./script.php: /usr/bin/php^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Please suggest what could be wrong here?

Thanks in advance …
