Hello, I'm with an big problem using cron jobs with my web system.

I developed my PHP system using MVC design pattern.
The classes are diveded in folders, like that:

public_html >

classes >

dao >

ClassNameDao.php

...

model >

ClassNameBean.php

...

controller >

ClassNameController.php

...

Every class is used by files/pages placed under public_html (like index.php)
So the usual php path is based on "public_html" folder, and some Controller class, for example, requires it's Model and Dao class and the DBConn class that connects to db.
Those classes are included like that:

PHP Code:

include_once 'classes/dao/UserDao.php';
include_once 'classes/dao/DBConn.php';
include_once 'classes/model/UserBean.php'

/*If the class I want to include is inside the same folder of the actual class being used (in this example 'classes/controller') I just need to put the name of the class and it's included with no problem.*/
include_once 'UserInfoController.php'

class UserController {

private $name, ...;

} 


The problem is: When I use this Controller class for example, with my cron job php file (placed outside my public_html folder) my classes are not called correctly with the relative path in "include_once". I could rewrite the include of ALL my classes to absolute path, but it would took some time and will not be really good, since if I put my web system in another server, I would have to change all the path again.

I also tried to add the public_html folder to php path, but it still shows me errors with the 'include'. Can anyone point me an solution for this problem?

You have a simple ; problem.

PHP Code:

include_once 'classes/dao/UserDao.php'; 
include_once 'classes/dao/DBConn.php'; 
include_once 'classes/model/UserBean.php';

/*If the class I want to include is inside the same folder of the actual class being used (in this example 'classes/controller') I just need to put the name of the class and it's included with no problem.*/ 
include_once 'UserInfoController.php';

class UserController { 

private $name, ...; 

} 


That should help

That is just an example, my real file has the correct syntax.

Then read this. Sorry that I can't help you very much, but your problem might be fixed in the comments.

read the cron.php in Drupal to see how it is done.
