Topic: Cron job error? -SOLVED

[Phlerb]

I am continuing on my background changing adventure, and even though if I use

www.deadcowz.com/ChangeBackground.php

Everything work and the background changes to what it should.

If I have the Cron job run this same ChangeBackground.php which has 2 includes to get the variables for weather and day or night:

Code: [Select]

<?php 
include 'wucallapi.php';

include 'sunrise-sunset.php';
I get this error emailed to me:

<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Call to undefined function: json_decode() in <b>/homepages/17/d554858752/htdocs/DEADCOWZdomainroot/wucallapi.php</b> on line <b>2</b><br />

Here is the code at the top, essentially directly from WU.

Code: [Select]

<?php $json_string = file_get_contents("http://api.wunderground.com/api/3aa3d2f44c50a999/geolookup/conditions/q/VT/Jericho.json"); 
$parsed_json = json_decode($json_string); 
$weather = $parsed_json->{'current_observation'}->{'weather'};


Thank you for any assistance on this.

Looks like the issue was that it was defaulting to PHP 4.4.9, and needed PHP 5

Changed that with a shiny new .htaccess file, and now the cron job is no longer throwing an error!
