I run several PHP scripts via CRON in the following way:
put the following in the top of the php script:
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q (linux system - location of php bin)
and in the CRONTAB I have the following:
10 1 * * * root /usr/local/bin/php -q /script/CRONexport.php
the -q supress HTML headers.
hope this helps!
