Cron job error on filetime

I have a php script which runs fine direct from a web page that checks the last modified time of all html files for a site map, However when i run it as a cron job if errors out.

Below is the script, the cron job and the error.

$path = "/home/mydir/"; 

// Open the folder 
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path"); 

// Loop through the files 
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) { 
    if($file == "." || $file == ".." || $file == "index.php" ) 

        continue; 
        if(strpos($file, ".html") !== false) {
        $a=filemtime($file);
        }
    }
}

php /home/mydir/pdate.php /dev/null && echo "Site Map completed "$(date) >>/var/log/cron.log

Error PHP Warning: filemtime(): stat failed

Any ideas on what i should change for this one please?

You are in another directory. Either:

chdir($path);

Or:

filemtime($path.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$file);
