/* Date time sent emails */
$date = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('Asia/Karachi'));

$email_query = "SELECT *FROM marketing_email WHERE email_timer = '1' ";
$email_result = mysqli_query($db, $email_query);

if (mysqli_num_rows($email_result) > 0) {
while ($email_rows = mysqli_fetch_assoc($email_result)) {

    $attechment_query = "SELECT *FROM marketing_email_attechements WHERE marketing_email_id = '".$email_rows['id']."' AND status = '1' ";
    $attechment_result = mysqli_query($db, $attechment_query);
    if ($attechment_result) {
        $path = array();
        while ($attechment_rows = mysqli_fetch_assoc($attechment_result)) {

I am trying to schedule emails for that I created a cron job which gave me an error on file which works fine from the browser.

Here is screenshot from my cpanel when i am trying to create cron job and testing it's file if it runs or not.

CodePudding user response：

You could rename your cron command to /usr/bin/php70 -f /path/to/your.php, and make sure/usr/bin/php70 is a valid path.
