I have verified register_globals is off and php is version 5.2.2  how can i get this to stop?  i saw another post and someone said to turn off error check in header.inc.php I can't find that in the file.  Please help me get rid of this!  I have gotten 37 emails in the last 25 minutes!

Chances are, the cron daemon (the service that handles cron jobs) is using a different version/binary of PHP that your web site is using, meaning the cron job is running under a version/configuration of PHP which is not suitable for Dolphin. I suggest you contact your web hosting provider and see if there is any other configurations or versions available that you can run your cron job against.

For example, with my web hosting provider, the default version of PHP is PHP 4, meaning I have to specify whether I want to use PHP 4 or 5 (among many compiled versions). For my cron job to be processed with the latest version of PHP 5, I had to configure it like so:

php5 /path/to/dolphin/periodic/cron.php

Of course, the exact configuration will vary for different web hosting providers.

Where would I change the configuration?  I do have a VPS so maybe I need to change the path to my installed PHP rather than the default one.

I'm unsure on how you'd go about specifically doing it for your setup, so I'd advise you contact your web hosting provider.

How have you been adjusting your php.ini settings?

For a VPS you should be editing the main php.ini file in the ect directory. If you put a php.ini file in the dolphin directory, then that method would not be proper for a VPS machine.



And i see you said this....

Are you saying you installed a new copy of PHP leaving the old one on the system?  If so then that is most likley the cause of your problems.
