php warning in running cron job

Hi greatroni, the problem is not in this file. Goto inc.header.php and see whether there is anything output before session_start(); Anything: a space, a newline, a tab or any other output can cause this error

I dont get it. Here is code for inc.header.php
Thanks Harish for looking at it.




<?php

session_name( 'skadate' );
session_start();

require_once( 'inc.debug.php' );
require_once( 'fnc.system.php' );
require_once( 'class.mysql.php' );
require_once( 'fnc.custom.php' );
require_once( 'fnc.profile.php' );
require_once( 'fnc.datetime.php' );
require_once( 'fnc.navigation.php' );
require_once( 'fnc.upload.php' );
require_once( 'fnc.media.php' );
require_once( 'fnc.sql_placeholder.php' );

if( ini_get( 'magic_quotes_gpc' ) )
{
      $_GET = clearSlashes( $_GET );
      $_POST = clearSlashes( $_POST );
      $_COOKIE = clearSlashes( $_COOKIE );
      $_ENV = clearSlashes( $_ENV );
}

Do you have space or newline character above <?

if you use a simple php command in crontab to run a php script then you might have the error with session_start();

try to use a "wget" and that should not give you the "WARNING" from php.

edit crontab

crontab -e

01 01 * * * wget "http://localhost/some/script.php?var=somevalue" -o /dev/null

There is no space or newline above <?
I can run cron job only with the interface provided by hosting service.

does the page give an error when opening in a browser or does the error happen when you are running it in crontab?

both the errors are two different events

when php script run in crob job setting. result(error in this case) is sent to me by email.
