Cron -> Php Script

Hey,

Ive succesfully set up a Cron job to run a PHP script every night at midnight on my site but am having a few problems.

Basically I want the script to access the MySql database and make a field called "messages" = "0".

When the script runs at midnight I get emailed an error saying the script didnt run correctly.

Does anyone have any idea if I have to code the PHP differently/add anything extra in because of the way im wanting to run it?

Is your error related to the cron job or the PHP script itself?

Please post your script.

I managed to fix this problem - turns out to be a problem with the cron command I used....ooops!
