php/apache question

[alex79]

i execute the below command from apache (php script):

<?
$command="wget http://domain.com/file.php > /dev/null";
passthru("$command");	
?>

the problem is that after execution on my server is copied 0kb file with the name file.php... i don't want nothing to be copied on my server (this is why i puted there /dev/null)..
what i'm doing wrong? how can i fix this, so no file to be copyed on my server?

Simple solution is to execute two commands.

<?php

$command="wget http://domain.com/file.php; rm -f file.php";

shell_exec($command);    

?>

why not just

file_get_contents("http://domain.com/file.php");

?
