Cron job running?

I have a cron job set up via cPanel on a shared server set to run each night.
The cron job queries the database and writes data to a file. It also deletes all exisiting photos in a folder and copies images relating to the data written to the file. Then it ftps the file and images to another server.
This has been working fine and I've been receiving an email for the cron job each day.
I'm now no longer receiving the email and have no way of knowing if the cron job has run correctly. It appears to, in as much as the data file gets created and the images get copied. But I don't know if it successfully uploaded them all to the other server.
I have several echo statements within the code and , at the end of the code, I have text added to a report file. The cron job isn't echoing any of the echo statements or writing to the report file. When I run the code manually through a browser the same thing happens. And in fact the code never seems to stop, with the page constantly trying to load.

If I manually delete all the images in the folder first before running the script then I do get some echo statements, but again it appears to get stuck.

I've also tried running the code without the ftp upload and the same thing happens.

Is the code simply timing out?

Here's the code  (with sensitive stuff replaced with xxxxx)

//set file name
$datenow = date(Ymd,time());

//define directory

//delete images in folder
foreach(glob($dir.'*.jpg*') as $v){

    unlink($v);

}

//delete the file if it already exists
if (file_exists($dir.$filename)) { 
unlink($dir.$filename);
};
