Remote Scripting

[jackaroo]

I successfully configured a cron job in cpanel to run a php script. Now I would like to run that script remotely from VBScript.

 

Dim Controller, RemoteScript

Set Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController")

Set RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("http://www.MyWebSite.com/MyPath/MyScript.php")

RemoteScript.Execute

 

I have placed '#!/usr/bin/php' in the script.

 

Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work?

 

Thanks

Welcome to the forums, jackaroo!

 

From what I can tell by reading the WSH documentation, the methods you're using in your script do not support running a script via a URL, nor do they support remote execution of scripts on a non-Windows server.

 

To run a script on your account by merely performing an HTTP 'GET' request on its URL, I believe the following script would do what you want:

>Dim url	'URL to retrieve
Dim sHTML  'String to hold HTML sent by server

url = "http://www.MyWebSite.com/MyPath/MyScript.php"
sHTML = HTTPGet(url)

Function HTTPGet(strURL)
Dim strReturn
Dim objHTTP
If Len(strURL) Then
	Set objHTTP = WScript.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
	objHTTP.open "GET", strURL, False
	objHTTP.send
	strReturn = objHTTP.responseText
End If
HTTPGet = strReturn   
End Function
