A quick question about Cron

    Hello, I was wondering if it's possible to make a certain PHP file only accessible to the cron command I set up in the cPanel. Meaning, no one can visit it via browser.

    Thanks!

    As long as the file is not in your public_html folder it cannot be seen via a browser...put the file eslewhere and setup the cron job for it...

    If it is not possible to put it on a private directory you can try this :

    
if ( isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ) exit;

    Or you can use htaccess to restrict http requests :). There are lots of ways.
