Dear Friends,

I want to execute a redirect a URL in which i have to call a gateway server in order to send a sms. The Server on which i want to redirect a url is Linux based and the file code is on PHP. The particular php file is executed as a cron job.

As a cron job runs in backgroud, we are not able to redirect (Response.redirect("url") not allowed). how one will be able to do the above task then?

Thanks

Redirection is meaningless if you run the php file as a cron job. let the cron task execute the other php file also.

Have a look at wget.
