Code:
wget -directory-prefix=/usr/local/apache/htdocs/ http://somesite.com/xyz.php

This command will save the file as xyz.php but the following does not work...

You need to direct your output to a defined file, like so using the -O option:
Code:
wget -directory-prefix=/usr/local/apache/htdocs -O abc.php http://somesite.com/xyz.php
