<font color="red">register_globals is On (warning, you should have this param in Off state, or your site will unsafe)</font> <br />

AndreyP  (a Boonex administrator) has said

"Sometimes hosts split PHP to 2. One for sites and second for crons.

you should check both PHP binary."

You may have to contact your host to figure this out

kosmic  has also suggested the following:

Try this, change the following in the htaccess so your commenting out the php_flag with a # like so:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>

php_flag register_globals Off

</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_php5.c>

php_flag allow_url_include Off

php_flag register_globals Off

</IfModule>

to read

<IfModule mod_php4.c>

#php_flag register_globals Off

</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_php5.c>

#php_flag allow_url_include Off

#php_flag register_globals Off

</IfModule>

----------------

then open up text editor and paste the below inside, save it as php.ini then upload to the root of your install:

safe_mode = Off

get_magic_quotes_gpc = On

allow_url_include = Off

register_globals = Off

There may be other answers available via the search function, but I think these are your best bet.  ; )

Hope this helps! Good luck  =D 

I tried everything mentioned to no prevail.

Opened ticket with host and here is what they say

"Dear Kurt
Thank you for using our services.

I deem your code says that register globals parameter is enabled on the whole server by default. But as you can see from php info mentioned parameter is disabled for your domain name folder. As for the php.ini and php5-custom-ini.cgi. On your server php configuration works in this way only. Do not hesitate to contact us for further details. One of our support representatives will be happy to answer your questions seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day.

Sincerely yours,

So I guess it's okay.. if cron reports an error that isn't vaild we are okay.. correct? no need to worry about it.. right?

Thanks ED5 - I had got up to 15,000 'error' emails and was wondering how to solve it. I'm with Hostgator too, but didn't think to ask their support.

To summarize for anyone else coming here, what they did was added  -c /home/MY_ACCOUNT/php.ini (where MY_ACCOUNT = your account's name) to the middle of the standard Dolphin cron job sytax in order to point the cron job generating flies to the php.ini file in the root directory. Providing the settings are correct there, the error emails are not generated. See ED5's post above.

Hostgator also changed the time setting as their TOS say that cron jobs should not happen more frequently than every 15 mins.

 I too am with Hostgator & this solved my problems completely.

Thank you thank you thank you
