I think i fix it. Copy this Code and remember change ILoveMAUTIC

[quote]\<?php

if (!isset($\_GET['ILoveMAUTIC])) {  
echo ‘The secret phrase is wrong.’;  
die;  
}

$link = “http://$\_SERVER[HTTP\_HOST]$\_SERVER[REQUEST\_URI]”;  
$allowedTasks = array(  
‘cache:clear’,

‘mautic:fetch:email’,  
‘doctrine:migrations:migrate’,  
‘doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql’,  
‘doctrine:schema:update --force’  
);

if (!isset($\_GET[‘task’])) {  
echo ‘Specify what task to run. You can run these:’;  
foreach ($allowedTasks as $task) {  
$href = $link . ‘&task=’ . urlencode($task);  
echo ‘  
’ . $href . ‘’;  
}  
echo ‘

echo ‘  
**Please, backup your database before executing the doctrine commands!** ’;  
die;  
}

$task = urldecode($\_GET[‘task’]);

if (!in\_array($task, $allowedTasks)) {  
echo ‘Task ’ . $task . ’ is not allowed.’;  
die;  
}

$fullCommand = explode(’ ', $task);  
$command = $fullCommand[0];

$argsCount = count($fullCommand) - 1;  
$args = array(‘console’, $command);

if ($argsCount) {  
for ($i = 1; $i \<= $argsCount; $i++) {  
$args[] = $fullCommand[$i];  
}  
}

For the rest of the world, @ninjoan is talking about this script:

[https://gist.github.com/escopecz/9a1a0b10861941a457f4](https://gist.github.com/escopecz/9a1a0b10861941a457f4)

If I compared your version of the script correctly, you removed this row:

```auto
echo '<h3>Executing ' . implode(' ', $args) . '</h3>';
```

And it no longer throws this error:

`[RuntimeException]                                                                                                                     
  Failed to start the session because headers have already been sent by "/home/MYDOMAIN/public_html/marketing/commands.php" at line 59. `

If that’s correct, well great you’ve solved it. It doesn’t make much sense to me, but that’s not the first or the last wonder in PHP world for me 🙂

I hope this work for another user with problem like me.

Thanks @escopecz for be so patience.

Also there is any way to get in touch with David Hurley?
