How to run a php script in cron
I have a php script that is set to run in cron.I want to run the url with passing one parameter. I tried to pass parameters as query string and put in crontab it didn't work. How to run a url with parameters using cron?
php /var/www/prod/Reports/report.php?email=sample@sample.com
Ideally running PHP in command line interface (CLI) you would use $argv and $argc globals to pass parameters to the script.
Example: my_php_script.php
<? var_dump($argv); php my_php_script.php arg1 arg2 array(3) { [0]=> string(17) "my_php_script.php" [1]=> string(4) "arg1" [2]=> string(4) "arg2" }

Show us your crontab (or at least the row with the PHP script). If you perform it like:
php script.php?param1=123
The above will not work. Instead do it like this:
wget http://localhost/script.php?param1=123¶m2=345 -o /dev/null
Then it should work. If not, give more details.
Keep in mind, that the suggestion is JUST AN EXAMPLE. This would imply you have a running web server, that is configured to run PHP files, etc.
Use the global $argv to get command line parameters.
