Ios push notification with PHP server Script using schedule task

Question

I am implementing a service for push notification for apple device. using a php script it does push notification only when the php script hit from browser. when i hit the server php script by the browser it pushes the notification to the Apple device. my php script is...

// END OF METHOD TO SEND NOTICATION IN APPLE DEVICES

function sendNotificationToAppleDevice($token,$message)
    {
    /////////////////////////////////////////////For apple divice////////////////////////////////

$passphrase='1234';
// Create a stream to the server
$streamContext = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($streamContext, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'sample.pem');
stream_context_set_option($streamContext, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $passphrase);

$apns = stream_socket_client( 'ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195', $error,$errorString,60,STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $streamContext);

// You can access the errors using the variables $error and $errorString


// Now we need to create JSON which can be sent to APNS
        $inc=0;                  
$load = array(
'aps' => array(
'alert' => $message,
'badge' =>$inc,
)
);
$inc++;
$payload = json_encode($load);
// The payload needs to be packed before it can be sent
$apnsMessage = chr(0) . chr(0) . chr(32);
$apnsMessage .= pack('H*', str_replace(' ', '', $token));
$apnsMessage .= chr(0) . chr(strlen($payload)) . $payload;

// Write the payload to the APNS

fwrite($apns, $apnsMessage);

echo "just wrote " . $payload;

// Close the connection

fclose($apns);
    }

This script run well and send notification successfully when this script hit by browser.

Now when i run this script from cron job from schedule task it does not send any notification to the device. it caused......

Warning: stream_socket_client(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure in sample.php

Warning: stream_socket_client(): Failed to enable crypto in sample.php on line

Warning: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to ssl://gateway.sandbox.push .apple.com:2195 (Unknown error) in sample.php on line

Warning: fwrite() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in sample.php on line

Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in sample.php on line

whats the problem with this function and error..please help me anyone...

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that you provide correct parameters to function? Maybe you should also check permissions for your sample.php — Josip B.

After research a lot on it at last i found where is the loop hole..

you have to change just one line to work this method with the cron job..:-)

change this line

stream_context_set_option($streamContext, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'sample.pem');

to

stream_context_set_option($streamContext, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'your FULL path of pem file');

for my case i used

stream_context_set_option($streamContext, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'C:\Websites\games\project_name\sample.pem');

and that's all... hope your problem will be solved now..
