I have a script that sends an email using phpmailer.
This is my script:
<?PHP
require "/home/websitename/public_html/new/phpMailer/class.phpmailer.php";
// Connectie script
class Connection {
// Configure Database Vars
private $host = 'localhost';
private $username = 'username';
private $password = 'mypass';
private $db_name = 'mydbname';
public $db;
function __construct() {
// Create connection
$db = new mysqli($this->host, $this->username, $this->password, $this->db_name);
// Check connection
if ($db->connect_errno > 0) {
die('Unable to connect to the database: '.$db->connect_error);
}
$this->db = $db;
}
public function query($query) {
$db = $this->db;
$this->db->query('SET NAMES utf8');
if (!$result = $this->db->query($query)) {
die('There was an error running the query ['.$db->error.']');
} else {
return $result;
}
}
public function multi_query($query) {
$db = $this->db;
if (!$result = $this->db->multi_query($query)) {
die('There was an error running the multi query ['.$db->error.']');
} else {
return $result;
}
}
public function real_escape_string($value) {
return $this->db->real_escape_string($value);
}
public function inserted_id() {
return $this->db->insert_id;
}
}
$conn = new Connection();
$getaccounts = 'SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE verified_email = 0';
$getaccountscon = $conn->query($getaccounts);
while($getaccounts = $getaccountscon->fetch_assoc()){
$timer = strtotime($getaccounts['timer']);
$time = '1 minuut voorbij van account van '.$getaccounts['voornaam'];
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->From = 'noreply@website.nl';
$mail->FromName = 'website.nl';
$mail->addAddress('twan@website.nl');
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = 'Verifieer je e-mail bij website.nl';
$mail->msgHTML($time);
if(!$mail->send())
{
echo 'Er is iets foutgegaan tijdens het verzenden van de verificatie mail';
}
}
?>
When I open it directly through the browser, it works fine. But when I use it in a cronjob I get no emails at all. This is my cronjob command: wget -O /dev/null -quiet https://mywebsite.nl/new/includes/checkemailverify.php >/dev/null 2>&1
What can be causing the issue?
The user running the cron may have a different user than your web server's user. So there may be some environment variables like PATH that could be undefined, and cron be unable to find wget
. To fix PATH you must provide in crontab the fully qualified path th wget
.
Assuming you are on a *nix box, login as the user whose crontab will be executed. Find where wget is on your file system:
DarkMax:~ yvesleborg$ which wget
/usr/local/bin/wget
DarkMax:~ yvesleborg$ ls -al /usr/local/bin/wget
lrwxr-xr-x 1 yvesleborg admin 30 27 Sep 2018 /usr/local/bin/wget -> ../Cellar/wget/1.19.5/bin/wget
Notice, that wget is executable by system user yvesleborg
. Make certain it is for the user running the cron job.
Then edit your crontab
crontab -e
and change wget to the fully qualified path you got above. In your case that would make your command :
/fully/qualified/path/to/wget -O /dev/null -quiet https://mywebsite.nl/new/includes/checkemailverify.php >/dev/null 2>&1
