I upgraded Drupal from 6.x to 7.x some tiume ago, and have been grappling with this issue for some time:

don@etiikka:$ sudo drush @jbt cron
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function db_result() in /var/www/XXX.com/modules/php/php.module(80) : eval()'d code on line 2
Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error.  [error]
Error: Call to undefined function db_result() in /var/www/XXX.com/modules/php/php.module(80) : eval()'d code, line 2

I have tried disabling any key modules (twitter & OAuth seemed the most likely candidates, so I completely removed them - no change, then re-installed) but the issue remains. Have cleared cache repeatedly after any change, & I continue to get the error.

I also did a reset of the file ownership settings etc. checked everything I can think of.
Also reset the settings on .htaccess

The "Status Report" is all green except for Cron failing.

Does anyone have any bright ideas ?

Update: I installed "elysia-cron" and now cron runs without errors.
I would still like to know why the default cron fails, but at least it is resolved...

It looks like some PHP code you inserted into a node using the PHP input filter was the culprit. Cron runs as an anonymous user, so maybe it was a permissions issue.
