PHP文件的Cron作业错误

Question

I'm developing an app that should runs once a day a PHP script for sending mail and SMS.

I'm new to use cron jobs, i've set correctly the crontab, the PHP file is running but I receive this error :

/srv/applicazioni/shuttle/server/mylac.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
/srv/applicazioni/shuttle/server/mylac.php: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `'/data/applicazioni/shuttle/server/phpmailer/PHPMailer-master/''
/srv/applicazioni/shuttle/server/mylac.php: line 2: `set_include_path('/data/app'icazioni/shuttle/server/phpmailer/PHPMailer-master/');

This is the point in the script that I receive the error:

<?php 
set_include_path('/data/applicazioni/shuttle/server/phpmailer/PHPMailer-master/');
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
?>

The file PHPMailerAutoload.php on the server is in /data/applicazioni/shuttle/server/phpmailer/PHPMailer-master/

How can i solve it?

Thank's

Cron scripts are expected to be shell scripts, and < is a redirect operator in a shell, so when you say:

<?php

that's saying "get input from a file called ?php ", which of course doesn't exist, so you get ?php: No such file or directory . You need to add a "hashbang" to the start of your file to tell it to run the script using the PHP interpreter:

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php
