What is the best way to run the cron from webmin for a php script which is using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']?

Should I use

wget [.......] or
lynx [.......] or
any other way.

Thanks,

You would use the Command Line Interface binary or the CGI binary, depending on how your system is configured. See this doc [us3.php.net] for details.

Basically, though:

php /somedirectory/blah.php

And it doesn't need the PHP file extension, as long as there's something in the script for PHP to parse.
