Need a cron job file to execute the PHP script

[furious_gamer]

Hi guys,
I have a database backup script which works perfectly. Now i need this script to run automatically so that no one is need to take database backup.

Will any of you guys give me a simple cron-file to do this along with a link to how to execute the shell script in the hosting server. Please guys help me....

Use wget.. wget http://server.com/path/to/file.php > logfile

if you use cpanel or lxadmin there is some option in it to do cron jobs..

Yes, my hosting plan has a cpanel and hurrah! I see a option called Cron Manager there.. Now what i need to do is just write the command and set the interval...

exactly my problem.
I wrote a backup.php script which dumps the data into a file. Then I email this file as attachment to a backup gmail id.
saved for ever!
On my system I have a batch script which executes iexplorer.exe <url of the php file>
And i have used windows scheduler to run this batch script.
