I have a script that periodically (every ~5 minutes) requests a bunch of data from an API and possibly sends a email.
However I recently got contacted by the server administrator that there a huge amount of queued mails which will never be sent because of the Cron.
However as it stands right now it should never send the emails because it should never pass the if-statements in which the mailing code is placed.
Script more or less does the same thing twice, but with some different emails:

Attempted fix: I moved the require_once() call to within the if-statement. This didn't fix it.
There is no other code in the script that is in any way related to sending email's. And the code that is e-mail related isn't executed (as shown by the fact that neither 1., 2., 3. nor 1. is echoed).
I am looking for any tips as to what can cause the cron script to queue an email that is never sent by the SMTP server.
Cron jobs have no user interface, so if the script outputs anything to the stderror or stdoutput it will cause the cron system to generate an email, to contain that output. This is how you would know your cron is having problems, or how you monitor things like "I did 10 things this run" type of stuff.
It looks to me as if your script has some kind of output either reporting errors or doing your echo '1.' debugging code or something similiar.
First I would check all the code you say it is running for anything like echo or print etc etc, anything that would normally write info to the terminal, and remove/rethink it.
Then change the cron's config to send these emails to a valid email address that you actually monitor, so you know when your script is trying to tell you something.
I am running a PHP/MySQL server and am using cron jobs to periodically update my customers as well as send automated newsletters, invoices, etc. However, it does not appear to be working, as emails are not getting sent.
The cron jobs are running (checked the logs).
Invoking the script via the browser results in the emails being sent.
Using SSMTP for email transport.
SPF and DKIM records are in place and correct.
I cannot figure out what is going wrong. Here is pseudocode of the email script:
$override_authentication = true;
require_once('../services/shared/connect.php');
$query = "SELECT * FROM `organizations`";
$orgs = mysqli_query($database,$query);
while ($org = mysqli_fetch_array($orgs)) {
// GENERATE EMAIL CONTENT HERE
// Send email to all users
$query = "SELECT `id`, `email`, `avatar`, `gender`, `phone`, `option_textalerts` FROM `users` WHERE `organization` = " . $org['id'] . " AND `option_scheduling` = 'enabled'";
$users = mysqli_query($database, $query);
while($user = mysqli_fetch_array($users)) {
$message = emailGetHeader("Submit Availability for ".date('F Y', mktime(0,0,0,date('n')+1,1,date('Y'))), $user) . $body . emailGetFooter();
$to = $user['email'];
mail($to,"Submit Availability for ".date('F Y', mktime(0,0,0,date('n')+1,1,date('Y'))),$message,emailGetMeta('Leadsheet <email#leadsheet.us>', 'Leadsheet Automailer <no-reply#leadsheet.us>'));
// If enabled, sent a text alert to the phone number on their account
if ($user['option_textalerts'] == 'availability') {
$phone = preg_replace("/[^0-9]/", "", $user['phone']);
$domains = array('txt.att.net', 'myboostmobile.com', 'sms.mycricket.com', 'tmomail.net', 'vtext.com');
foreach ($domains as $domain) {
mail($phone.'#'.$domain, "Availability Reminder",'Please submit your availability for '.date('F Y', mktime(0,0,0,date('n')+1,1,date('Y'))).' on Leadsheet', emailGetMeta('Leadsheet <txt#leadsheet.us>', 'Leadsheet Automailer <no-reply#leadsheet.us>'));
}
}
}
}
mysqli_close($database);
It looks like you are missing an environment variable. look at phpinfo() and compare with your local environment. Alternatively you can just use wget to emulate a browser loading the page.
After consulting a friend, I discovered the answer. The cron engine was executing the script from the root directory, so the relative file name in the require_once wasn't resolving. Adding a cd command before executing the script solved the issue.
I need your help to run following php script automatically on 05th day of the every month. Currently I run this manually. Is this possible using schedule task?
Also I don't have admin access to the web server. Therefore cannot use third party automation tools.
PS:
Is it possible to schedule this in a local machine with windows 7 xampp environment and then later update remote db?

It looks all database work which should be easily do able
If it is a publicly accesseable web server, you can use a cronjob service like https://www.cronjobservice.net/. After registration you enter an url and the time they shall call it. I advice using multiple of those services for the case one fails. (your script must execute on first call and exit on subsequent calls from other services.)
Please be sure to properly deal with .htaccess and make sure to have no security relevant output.
Have you asked the peoples that are hosting your site if they have a solution?
Most hosting companies have solutions for this (even on Windows servers)
If the hosting company has no solution for this (what I seriously doubt) you can call the script externally from another server that has cron possibilities or have it called by the first visitor on that day.
I any case you will want to include a check in your script that your script only runs on the set date (you already have that) and also make sure that calling the script more than once on that day is no problem.
PS : if the script is called by the first visitor you will have to consider the fact that you could not have any visitor that particular day, so the script will have to run whenever the next visitor comes along.
If you don't have administrative access to Windows, you won't be able to create a scheduled task. Your only alternative is to create some sort of custom task component in your application that checks / stores the last time a script was run. The problem with this is that it relies on user activity and it may not run on the exact date that you want it to.
The other alternative is to find Linux hosting so that you can avail of Cron.
I wrote a PHP script to push notifications using APNS. I added a PHP progress bar to monitor how many users that have been pushed. The progress bar is displayed in the PHP page. I also keep updating a MySOL database to record the number. This script is expected to run a very long time. After running for about 3 hours, the PHP page (with progress bar) is stopped, but when I check the database, the number of pushed users is still increasing. This means the script is still running in server's memory, but why has the page display stopped?
here is some code:
$count = 1;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
$pushToken = $row['pushToken'];
$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM deactivated_pushtokens WHERE pushToken LIKE '$pushToken'");
list($token_deactivated) = mysql_fetch_row($result2);
if ($token_deactivated==0){
if ($row['pushToken']!=""){
if (strlen($row['pushToken']) == 64){//All valid push tokens will have a 32x2=64 length
//echo "<br>$count. Sending push to ".$row['deviceID']." Device token = ".$row['pushToken'];
//echo "<br><br>";
if($count > $sendThreshold)
{
$pushMessage->sendMessage($row['pushToken'],$count,$appVersion,$mode,$message, $push_id);
}
if($count >= $push_update_count * $push_update_interval)
{
$pushlog_update = mysql_query("UPDATE pushlogs SET num_push_sent = '".$count."' WHERE push_id = '".$push_id."'");
if(!$pushlog_update)
{
// echo "pushlog table update error: ".mysql_error."<br />";
}
/* if($count<=$maxBar) // if failed again commment out and use block bleow
{
$prb->moveStep($count);
}
*/
$push_update_count++;
}
if($count >= $update_progressbar_count * $update_progressbar_interval)
{
if($count<=$maxBar)
{
$prb->moveStep($count);
}
$update_progressbar_interval++;
}
$count++;
// move the Bar
Perhaps the page display stopped due to the configuration of apache in httpd.conf
KeepAliveTimeout 300
PHP still running due to the property max_execution_time on php.ini
Just to notice, you are not calling the mysql_error function at all, replace the line:
echo "pushlog table update error: ".mysql_error."";
with this one:
echo "pushlog table update error: ".mysql_error()."<br />";
Further more, what you are doing is very bad practice. Try making an updater, keep you position into a session, and update/refresh the page and continue from where you left the execution. And if you do not have a tim_out limit in your .htaccess doesn't mean anything. And sometimes you might just not set the time limit.
Try refreshing page first, to see if it helps you. You can use a html meta tag for that. or:
header('Location: thispage.php');
And make each step of you program into a request.
I run a fantasy basketball league. My php website/sql database is designed to let the person running the team do everything through the website - they can waive a player, and the player automatically goes into the FA pool, etc.
Everything has worked perfectly until about a week ago. Anytime now that a team goes to sign a player, after clicking "Sign", they get a blank PHP page.

Put the following right after the open PHP tag:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
If this doesn't work, there is a probably a parse error and then you'll need to check the error log.
You will also need to escape your values that you are putting in the queries. This maybe causing a MySQL query to fail. If someone puts a " in $_POST['Team_Name'] your first query may fail.
Another final possible problem: are you sure it can still connect to MySQL?
An option to find the problem is commenting out large portions of code and then piece by piece uncommenting sectons.
Edit: So your first problem is the mysql_connect line. It needs to be changed to, notice the quotes: mysql_connect('localhost',$username,$password); Also, the variable $result and $queryt are spelt wrong in this line and used in their correct spelling: $resultt=mysql_query($queryt); I haven't checked the rest, but there maybe other errors that will cause your script to break. Some of the errors list are important to fix, but won't break your script.
Escaping: Check out the following page: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-escape-string.php This basically prevents people from deleting your entire database.
Check the sample code on this page to find out how to connect to MySQL and check to see if you are connected.
Another suggestion: Are you sure none of your queries are failing? You probably want to check if the result from query is false before continuing, like:
if ($resultcat2 === false) {
trigger_error('query failed ' . $sql, E_USER_ERROR);
echo 'Sorry, there was a problem processing your request. Please try again later.';
exit;
}
Turn error reporting on for PHP in your php.ini file and see if any errors or warnings are reported. Also try removing the trailing whitespace at the end of the file before the last ?>, this has caused problems for me in the past.
Added comments to some of the above responses. Please try to dumb down for me as much as possible - I'm extremely new to this. I can't figure out why it would suddenly stop working, though, when I've made no changes at all to the code.
If you made no changes to any files and it just "broke" then that would indicate that either your webhost went thru a configuration change, your database got hosed somehow, or that someone else may've changed something.
To help spot the culprit, after every one of these
if{
else{
while{
or/and after every few statements (statements end with a semicolon ;) add this to the next line
print "<br> made it to this label: some_unique_label_name_here";
Where you should replace the label each time to help you trace the code.
This will be your first step into debugging the script to figure out how far the code execution is reaching.
Without going through your code in too much detail,I would suggest you look for any sections that may loop for a long time,without returning
After enabling error reporting, make sure to put in else statements that correspond with all of your if-statements so you can determine if those statements are being triggered or not. Throw in some echos.
Also, to clarify - I have probably three dozen PHP files on the site - this is the ONLY one that has stopped working.
As an aside, you should change every variable from a get or post such as:
$Team_Offering = $_POST['Team_Name'];
to
$Team_Offering = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Team_Name']);
before using it in a mysql query, otherwise you are vunerable to SQL injection attacks.
This is where I got...everything below the print line wouldn't show up if I put the print line below it.
$k=0;
$Salary=0;
print "<br> made it to this label: some_unique_label_name_here";
while ($k < $Fields_Counter)
{
$Type=$_POST['type'.$k];
$Salary=$_POST['cy'.$k];
$Index=$_POST['index'.$k];
$Check=$_POST['check'.$k];
$queryn="SELECT * FROM nuke_iblplyr WHERE pid = '$Index' ";
$resultn=mysql_query($queryn);
$playername=mysql_result($resultn,0,"name");
$players_team=mysql_result($resultn,0,"tid");
So an update...nothing. lol
If you review this code:
$k=0;
$Salary=0;
print " made it to this label: some_unique_label_name_here";
while ($k < $Fields_Counter)
{
$Type=$_POST['type'.$k];
$Salary=$_POST['cy'.$k];
$Index=$_POST['index'.$k];
$Check=$_POST['check'.$k];
$queryn="SELECT * FROM nuke_iblplyr WHERE pid = '$Index' ";
$resultn=mysql_query($queryn);
$playername=mysql_result($resultn,0,"name");
$players_team=mysql_result($resultn,0,"tid");
If I put the print statement below while, the page goes blank and it doesn't show up. If the print statement is before while, the statement shows up but there's no action made on the page. The end result is that when running this page, the player selected on the previous page should be removed from Free Agents, added to the user's team, and a story should be posted on the front page announcing it. Obviously none of those are happening here.
