Cron job creates php files?

[Hanzgroove]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can help me out.

I have a cron job that is running on my server. Its set to run every half hour. It works great, but it has an annoying little quirk. Everytime the cron job is run, it creates a php file in the root directory of my server. Since its running every 1/2 hour, I get a bucnh of files on my root directory and I have to manually delete them everyday. I've posted the code for my cron job below. Maybe there is a command I can pass so that it doesn't create these files when its run? I'd appreciate any help.

(I removed the URL to the actual file it points to and put in a sample URL)

30 * 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 wget http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.php

wget --delete-after http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.php

or

curl -o /dev/null http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.php
