I want to have cron execute a script every minute. The script will send an email to different people, as determined by the script (I don’t want cron to email anything). Will the code below work, or does the filepath need to be structured differently?

MAILTO=""
* * * * * http://www.mydomain.com/myfile.php

    No, this will not work. To have cron execute your php script you have two choices.

    MAILTO=""
    * * * * * lynx -dump http://www.mydomain.com/myfile.php
    

    or

    MAILTO=""
    * * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /local/path/to/myfile.php
    

    Instead of lynx you can of course use curl or other web clients. The latter will of course require the php script to be local.
