if(file_exists("news/Main News.xml")) returns FALSE when run through cron, but returns TRUE while run from browser.

    Most likely this is caused by the cron job not being run from the correct folder.

    You either need to do something like

        if(file_exists("/home/path/to/news/Main News.xml"))
    

    (with the full path in the quotes)

    or do a

        cd /home/path/to;php cron_file.php
