How can I use a query string in my crontab?

Question

I need to have a query string in my crontab but it isn't working. Can someone please tell me how I can do this?

Thanks

Answer 1

PHP on the command line doesn't take arguments like that.

http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php

$ php file.php arg1 arg2

file.php

<?php
print_r($argv)

Answer 2

$ php example.php param1=value1 param2=value2

example.php:

<?php
echo "param1:" . $param1 . " ";
echo "param2:" . $param2;

Answer 3

You could follow the example by @scragar, or you could alternatively run wget and then pipe the output to null.

Answer 4

wget example:

$ wget http://your%5Fhost/example.php?param1=value1&param2=value2 2 > null
