Crontab not sending php reminder email to the right person -


i try develop new feature system can send email users 1 day before reservations expired. wrote php script, , used crontab trigger execution of php file every morning. problem if compile php file, works fine, , emails sent users. when check maillog, telling

to=<useremail@email.com>, ctladdr=<blablala> (0/0), delay=00:04:12, xdelay=00:04:12, mailer=esmtp, pri=120371, relay=xxxxxxx., stat=sent (r3hmoisd031604 message accepted delivery)

but if used crontab execute same php file, mail sent root of server, not "useremail@email.com" wrote in php file.

to=<root@myserver.com>, ctladdr=<blablabla> (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=30958, dsn=2.0.0, stat=sent

what can problem of it? why php file doesn't work expected crontab? can help?

my php file -- "demo.php"

require_once "defaultincludes.inc"; global $tbl_entry, $tbl_users;  $current =  mktime(date("h"),date("i"),0,date("m"),date("d"),date("y")); $start = $current + 12*3600; $end = $current + 40*3600;  $query="select u.email, u.fullname, e.name  $tbl_entry e, $tbl_users u "        ." u.name = e.create_by "        ." , e.end_time >= $start "        ." , e.end_time <= $end "; $result= sql_query($query); $mail_list=array(); ($i=0; ($row=sql_row_keyed($result,$i));$i++) {     $temp=array();     $temp[]=$row['fullname'];     $temp[]=$row['email'];     $temp[]=$row['name'];     $mail_list[]=$temp; }  ($i=0; $i<count($mail_list); $i++) {     $to = $mail_list[$i][1];     $subject= "reminder of ".$mail_list[$i][2];     $body = "hi ".$mail_list[$i][0].",\n"              ." reservation ".$mail_list[$i][2]." expire in 1 day";     mail($to,$subject,$body); }

crontab file -- "reminder.txt"

30 7 * * * /var/www/html/qars-vm90/demo.php 

/var/www/html/qars-vm90/demo.php

will work if script marked executable. in addition you'd need shebang @ top of file tell shell file (should execute perl, php, python, ...)

i suspect email sent error message cron saying file not executable. if login root should able read message.

the simplest possible change change crontab to

30 7 * * * php /var/www/html/qars-vm90/demo.php

it's worth remembering cron's environment slight different @ command line (login shells , that)

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
