If I have a php file in the scripts directory of FUDforum, and it contains the right php binary executable path (or whatever), then the script will be executed, right? Nothing else I have to do to get it to run?

You guys provide a generic version of the script at the top of the maillist.php file. It is this:

#!/usr/local/php/bin/php -q

My hosting company said that ours is this:

#!/hsphere/shared/php5/bin/php -q

I have this placed at the top of maillist.php and also popfud.php. My question is, will these scripts be automatically started, and how does the computer know which script to access first? I'm just wondering if there is not something else I should do to get them to execute. Because, as far as I can tell, the files aren't doing anything.

Thanks and regards.

You also need to chmod the file to make it executable. Otherwise you can execute it with:
/hsphere/shared/php5/bin/php -q /path/to/maillist.php

Two questions:

1. Do I run BOTH scripts (popfud & Maillist.php), or does the running of one call into action the other?

2. I ran both scripts. But I am getting an error ONLY for maillist.php. It says:

sh: /hsphere/local/home/ludwiggroup/FUDforum2/scripts/maillist.php: Permission denied

Why is it denying me permissions?

Thanks and regards

... never mind on the error message. It is coming from the version of the popfud file I am using. I think I know why. It provides for an array of lists, and I only have one maillist rule. So on the second list I assume it is spitting out the error. I'll figure that one out.
