don`t work preg_match on cron

[aropan18]

When i run "http://clist.x10.mx/update.php" through browser syntax (?<name>) for regular expression normally work, but when run with cron "/usr/bin/php -f /home/aropan/public_html/update.php" don`t work. Why? PHP script run on cron less 5.2.2 version?

Thanks in advance.

You can capture a cronjob output into a file so that you would know what exactly happend.
This is how it could be done.
For example,to Run job1 every 10 minutes (except on the hour), job2 on the hour (except at midnight), job3 at midnight (except Monday) and job4 at midnight on Monday, capturing output:

10-50/10 * * * * $HOME/bin/job1 >> $HOME/log/jobs.txt 2>&1
0 1-23 * * * $HOME/bin/job2 >> $HOME/log/jobs.txt 2>&1
0 0 * * 0,2-6 $HOME/bin/job3 >> $HOME/log/jobs.txt 2>&1
0 0 * * Mon $HOME/bin/job4 >> $HOME/log/jobs.txt 2>&1

Just capture the output and you would know what happend.

cron command "/usr/bin/php -f /home/aropan/public_html/update.php >> /home/aropan/public_html/cron.log 2>&1" create empty file cron.log, but i not have problem with execute script, i have problem no work syntax (?<name>) for regural expression in php when run cron, but run by browser all work. Thanks for configurate cron.

Without seeing the code for the script, there is no way of knowing what the problem is.

this work only through browser:

if (!preg_match('#<a href="(?<url>[^"]*)" class="prevNext">next &gt;</a></strong>#', $page, $match)) break;

this work and on cron too:

if (!preg_match('#<a href="([^"]*)" class="prevNext">next &gt;</a></strong>#', $page, $match)) break;
