I am using CakePHP 2.0 and have been trying to setup a cronjob to execute a method in a controller. I've been going nuts, looking over various tutorials and random sites to see if I could find a solution.
The error I am receiving is this:
Undefined variable: argc [APP/webroot/cron_dispatcher.php, line 83
Here is the bottom of the cron_dispatcher.php file in my app/webroot/ directory.
if (!include(CORE_PATH . 'cake' . DS . 'bootstrap.php')) {
trigger_error("CakePHP core could not be found. Check the value of CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH in APP/webroot/index.php. It should point to the directory containing your " . DS . "cake core directory and your " . DS . "vendors root directory.", E_USER_ERROR);
}
if (isset($_GET['url']) && $_GET['url'] === 'favicon.ico') {
return;
} else {
define('CRON_DISPATCHER',true);
if($argc >= 2) {
$Dispatcher= new Dispatcher();
$Dispatcher->dispatch($argv[1]);
}
}
I cannot find where these variables ($argv and $argc) are defined. They aren't defined anywhere in the dispatcher.php file itself. I searched Google to no avail. I'm not 100% sure how the Dispatcher works, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
== UPDATE GoDaddy's shared hosting doesn't allow you to change the settings of argc argv.
