Running a Cronjob for a PHP script in Cpanel

[xem]

I have been trying to run a php script in the cronjob settings in my cpanel but failed.

I'm confused with the command line, can any one help with that please?

What script are you running? We can better answer your question if we knew.

Your cron job should look something like this.
php -q /home/CPANEL-USER/public_html/SCRIPT-DIRECTORY/cron.php

However, we can't say for sure as your script could require a special way of cron being called.

cPanel should provide you with enough prompts to get the timing correct.
the command to issue will be what Lawrence posted. php -q <filepath>
the filepath you can discover by echoing $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']

But doesn't work, manually running the script does!

Upload your script, go to cpanel / cron and add as follows..

lynx -dump http://www.domain.com/script.php

This drops me an email to say that its done and I have One set to run everynight at midnight and one on the 1st and 15th of every month.
