Any help would be great!

If you're using PHP Level 1 (Basic), then you would have to upgrade to Level 2 (Intermediate). The PHP configuration is more lenient about these kind of things.

On a side note, although this has nothing to do with your problem, it's recommended that you open php tags with <?php as opposed to the short-handed (lazy) way <?

[MerCiLeSS]

solved for now, after r-reading lvl 1 has no fopen. I submitted for upgrade to lvl 2... hope it goes fast

Edit: They already accepted my request, its pending upgrade now... Very fast! Almost makes me wanna move up to a payed acct :o
Edit:

bleh.

[xPlozion]

You cannot write to a file that's contained in a url. It's best to set $output to the absolute location of index.html, as a relative location is kinda hit and miss (at least for me, since I don't play w/ it that much)... For example, /home/merciless/public_html/index.html . I don't know if that's the location to your index.html file, but as I said before, you cannot write to a file located outside of your folder heiarchy for lack of a better word.

[MerCiLeSS]

Yep, thanks man!

O_O

[xPlozion]

Well that's odd... maybe it's got something to do with file permissions? It's possible that it is writing it with 660 or 640 permissions as opposed to 644, but I wouldn't know why...

[MerCiLeSS]

Its working now, im just attempting to move the Swap the Katar and Cariae ranks. It's putting Katar's rank table first, giving me hell switching it.

Also, what would the cronjob command be to make it hit http://merciless.pcriot.com/lc.php twice a day?

[xPlozion]

To be honest, I would not know. I never was good at setting cronjobs for PHP in CPanel. I can set them on my computer to run tasks and the such, but I haven't been able to do anything like that on cpanel... I'll look into it though...

looking through google, the first result came up with a hit

try:

php /home/serverpath/script/file.php

Source: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum88/6102.htm

[MerCiLeSS]

Doesnt seem to work, even with -q flag... going to sleep now tho.

Thanks!

[Salvatos]

Here's an (almost) copy and paste from mine:

php -q /home/salvatos/etc/file.php

Just replace salvatos with your own user and /etc with whatever your filepath is.
As an advice, make sure your file can't be accessed by typing in the URL, 'cause then anyone could do the equivalent of your cron job by simply visiting the page.

And since "Every twelve hours" is not in the dropdown list in the Standard editor, you'll need to go the the advanced one set it like this : 0 */12 * * *

Hope that works.
