Alt 1:
If you have the CLI version of PHP installed, simply write
@hourly /path/to/php/interpreter/php /path/to/php/script.php
Alt 2:
Use wget/lynx/curl etc etc to fetch the file via the webserver. You can
then either echo the content out, and have wget/...etc save it to
wherever you want it, or you can still do this in the PHP-script, and
don't return any content to wget
