Sending php cron script results/output to an e-mail

[simberak]

I am running a cron job every night (importing products from feed) and I would like to get the results to my e-mail after the script ends. Can you help me to implement this?

I have cron.php in which is this:

<?php


include(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../config/config.inc.php');

include(dirname(__FILE__).'/importfast.php');


$importFast = new ImportFast();

$importFast->cron();


?>

Can this be done? Maybee to this file or to /importfast.php? And how to make it?

Thank you very much for help,

Daniel

Yes it can be done. You must figure out how to retrieve the info that has to be sent to you with an email and set it up.

if we assume that you alter the cron function a bit in order to return the data inserted your code should be changed to something like

<?php

include(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../config/config.inc.php');
include(dirname(__FILE__).'/importfast.php');

$importFast = new ImportFast();
$data = $importFast->cron();
mail("[email protected]","My subject",$data);

?>

You can use www.easycron.com which allows great control, it sends out alerts email if a cron job fails or succeeds.
