phpsec lib path is not working from cron job

Question

The file path for my script is

/var/www/html/MyProject/index.php

when I run the script as

~/./Myproject$ php index.php its runs perfectly

When I run the script as

~$ php /var/www/html/MyProject/index.php

It does not read the phpseclib file path

My index.php file is

<?php

include("crud.php");
include("functions.php");

set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . 'phpseclib');
include('Net/SFTP.php');

...

?>

error:

PHP Warning:  include(Net/SFTP.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/MyProject/index.php on line 6
PHP Warning:  include(): Failed opening 'Net/SFTP.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear/phpseclib') in /var/www/html/MyProject/index.php on line 6
PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Net_SFTP' not found in /var/www/html/MyProject/index.php on line 186

How to run the php script form cron job?

Answer 1

From the error message, you can see that phpseclib is not being added to the include path correctly. Try this for the set_include_path instead:

set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR .  __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'phpspeclib');

The __DIR__ will take into account the location of the file you're executing, rather than trying to find phpspeclib relative to the current working directory.

Answer 2

You can try placing phpseclib1.0.12 library to the /usr/share/ or if you are running from the Project then you can try adding like this:

set_include_path('/var/www/html/phpseclib1.0.12');
include('Net/SFTP.php');
