title: Executing php with crontab
body: <p>I'm trying to run a php-script on a scheduled basis. So I'd thought crontab was a good idea. The server I'm using is on Linux which I'm not that familiar with. So the problem I'm having is, I don't know how make the script executable from php. I need to reference the script, or put it into a folder that can run php from the command line. So I don't know what path to give my crontab, for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>5  * * * * var/www/some/path/script.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I found some vague information about this php executable being found in </p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/bin/php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I can't find any php file in there, maybe I don't have it installed? My php5 and apache installation is in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/etc/php5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So my question becomes, is there anyway to execute a php-script with crontab in any other folder, or do I just lack the php executable in usr/bin/php?</p>
