RE: [PHP] Execute a PHP script from unix (crontab)

Why not use the tool built for the job?

mysqldump will allow saving both data and structure.

Hi,
There are basically two ways of doing this. 

Use lynx : lynx --dump http_address_to_file

or

Compile php as a cgi binary.

You should select them based on your need.
