        $ch = curl_init('https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token');

  • You check what error cause by adding your email address in crontab. – Ahmed Ginani Apr 24 '17 at 12:05
  • Try setting fake user agent, like: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2440729/php-curl-how-can-i-emulate-a-get-request-exactly-like-a-web-browser – MilanG Apr 24 '17 at 12:10
  • Thanks but I have set user agent like curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $subredditDisplayName . ' by /u/' . $username . ' (Phapper 1.0)'); Is there any other way to test what error it thorugh !! – jas Apr 24 '17 at 12:15
  • get sure the curl php-extention is included in PHP-CLI's php.ini, otherwise use `dl()`. – Deadooshka Apr 24 '17 at 13:10
  • @Deadooshka when I check phpinfo() it shows curl extension is enabled, please suggest if there is some other way to test! – jas Apr 24 '17 at 13:13
  • Clarify the context the script runs in. The crontab command line is not given. – Deadooshka Apr 24 '17 at 13:29
  • It uses docker + nigex scheduler https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/ command is set via 0 */5 * * * * job_cronurl_red8yuhgi similar cmmands works for other things but one including curl not working. https://godoc.org/github.com/robfig/cron#hdr-CRON_Expression_Format – jas Apr 24 '17 at 13:32
  • you may get a debug info eg with this `file_put_contents('/path/to/dump.txt', print_r(get_loaded_extensions(), true));`. Also put there the `$_SERVER` or a constant with needed info. – Deadooshka Apr 24 '17 at 14:05
