cron job execution for cpanel php script

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am trying to write a cron job, I created a php file which will run every Tuesday and Sunday.

To test this I created a cron job which runs every 5 minutes. I have written a mail function inside it, but it looks like the cron job is not working as I have also updated my email id for the notification purpose.

Here is my cron job code and my php code:

3   *   *   *   *   php -q /home/jxxjordan/public_html/ospb2b/mycrons/depature.php

My php code:

$to = 'routemate.tech@gmail.com';
$subject = 'Marriage Proposal';
$message = 'Hi Jane, will you marry me?'; 
$from = 'depature@routemate.in';

// Sending email
if(mail($to, $subject, $message)){
    echo 'Your mail has been sent successfully.';
} else{
    echo 'Unable to send email. Please try again.';
}

Is there anything wrong I am doing. I have got the cron job code from the in motion hosting forum.
