Looks like you have a unix machine, if you have a

If you're on a linux box, have you tried "which php"?
Where do I type in "which php"?
I'm dealing with a host account and I'm
simply trying to find out where php is so
I can set up a cron job.
Thanks.

If you don't have a shell, you might get away with
a page using system(), backticks, escapeshellcmd(),
and the like (though on a shared host I'd think them
to be wise to disable a shell for www/nobody/apache):
<?php
$foo=`which php`;
echo $foo;
?>
Now, you may want to use whereis(1) instead, since
which is a shell-built in . . . but it sounds like a catch22:
no shell, no which; no shell, no shell, so whereis(1) can't
work either ... hmm, OTOH, which is only a shell builtin
in some shells, in which case ... ah, nevermind.
If you're guessing? typical places include : /usr/local/bin/php,
/usr/bin/php, /usr/etc/php . . . .
HTH,
