If your PHP is not compiled as a CGI interpreter, then you can't do commandline PHP commands. But all is not lost. You can have the cron job execute a shell script that executes lynx or links or wget, or even just executes the command directly from the cron job, and have that lynx/links/wget request a PHP script that does what you want done.
