argv in a Cron job

[ov10fac]

I am executing a php script from a cron job. The plain Jane scripts run just fine. Now I want to add a commena line argument to the script (argv[1]). The script runs perfectly from the command line with the following syntax

php myfile.php someargument

But when I try to put this command in a cron job it doesn't seem to be reading the argv or I get an ioctl error.

Any ideas on how to do this. I have been googling it for a day now and I haven't found anything useful.

Thanks.

I'm not sure that the shell inside cron would know where PHP lives. If you put in the full path to the PHP executable, instead of just 'php' does it make a difference?

It executes the script, just doesn't find the argv argument. Actually I have implemented a different approach. Instead of argv I have built a file that I can include which contains all the argv arguments.

Thanks.
