Redirect cron log info

[NewHeart42108]

My site is hosted by a hosting company which does not allow me to access the normal cron logs. I want to redirect the output and error messages to a log file in my user space. My cron commmand is
/usr/bin/curl -s "http://my/path/to/updateWebsite.php" > dev/null

I want to send the output echos and error messages to my/path/to/updateWebsite.log . Tutorials I have looked at indicate to use
/usr/bin/curl -s "http://my/path/to/updateWebsite.php" > "http://my/path/to/updateWebsite.log" 2>&1
but I cannot make this work. Can someone help me with the correct syntax?

You may need to modify the PHP file to directly write to the desired file.

Why not wrap the commadn you want to run in a shell script and have that redirect to file?

job.sh:

#!/bin/bash

SITE="http://my/path/to/updateWebsite.php"
LOG="http://my/path/to/updateWebsite.log"

/usr/bin/curl -s ${SITE} > ${LOG} 2>&1

and then your cron command would be:

/path/to/job.sh
