PHP code to stop the script to run from the browser

Envoirnment: Linux, PHP

Scenario: I wrote a script to be installed as cron. Now the thing is, I want the script to be run only through cron, and not through any browser (any web browser, including mobile browsers). Therefore, I am looking for a function similar to browserValidate.

The script is written in MVC and will run as

/usr/bin/GET http://xyz.com/abc/pqr

Please help me with this.

Thanks in advance.
