I’ve got a php script that uses curl and everything is fine. It runs via a cron job. I come back later and each time it runs a new file with the output has been saved.
How do I prevent these files from being created?

It’s the cron daemon that makes that file. By default it saves the stdout into a file.
Change the script to point its output to /dev/null instead:
/etc/crontab:
That would do the trick.
