Version: 1.04 - 22-Jul-2009 - added post authentication feature.
Now you can edit your cron job to use CURL and pass a username and password
so that the script can be in public view and it only emails when called from your cron job with the correct username and password.
This is the best way to allow the script to be in public and have the most accurate cron times, such as I use: every 6 hours (3,9,16,22) 3pm,9pm,3am,9am
This is a sample of my cron: (be sure to set your_username and your_password)
curl -d ‘username=your_username&password=your_password’ http://www.642weather.com/weather/nws-forecast-messenger.php >/dev/null 2>&1
