Remove what parts?

Ok, I now have added this to root's crontab and still nothing.  I
don't know if this helps or not but here you go:

$ cat scripts
#!/bin/bash -x

touch /tmp/t

./yahoo_equ.php
./yahoo_inx.php

$ cat yahoo_equ.php

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
include "conn.php";

$file = fopen("/home/chris/findata/equ.list","r");
$list = fread($file,2000);
$open = fopen("http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=$list&f=sl1d1t1ov&e=.csv",
"r");

$read = fread($open, 2000);
fclose($open);
fclose($file);

$read = str_replace("\"", "", $read);

$stocks = explode("\n",$read);
$sym = explode(",",$_POST[tickersymbol]);
$count = count($stocks);

$db = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
mysql_select_db($dbase,$db);

for ($x=0;$x<$count-2;$x++) {
 $read = explode(",", $stocks[$x]);

 $stamp = date(Ymd,strtotime("$read[2]"));
 $stamp.= date(His,strtotime("$read[3]"));

 $sql = "INSERT INTO equities (id,symbol,price,timestamp,open,volume)
VALUES(NULL,'$read[0]','$read[1]','$stamp','$read[4]','$read[5]')";
 mysql_query($sql);

}
mysql_close($db);
?>

# crontab -l
...
* 9-16 * * Mon-Fri /home/chris/script.sh >> /tmp/tlog.txt 2>&1

Thanks,
Chris
