I believe the command portion of your chron entry is "/usr/local/bin/php
/full/path/to/myscript.php" (separated by a space)
My Cpanel allows two methods scheduling (updating cron.tab file), if you
are using the unix option, you have the ability to schedule the execution
at a certain time of day, etc. Soneone else on this thread gave you a
pretty good description of how that works, and there are other tutorials
out there that will help. I prefer the unix option from my cpanel.
make sure that the full path name is provided to your script, usually this
will point to home/user or something like that. Also your script will need
to use full path names to files, you can use the "pwd" command (as we did
with which) to find out what the current directory is for your script, but
it is safest to use nothing but full directory names, because it is almost
guaranteed to not be what you would expect, so relative path names will
give you problems.
hope this helps,

Upload it to your website and execute it in your browser. I uploaded it
to my RedHat Linux server and it showed the following;
/usr/local/bin/php

Bingo -- that did it -- mine is:
/usr/local/bin/php
as well.
Now, to figure out what command I need to run a php script from there.
Thanks -- one step closer.
